An Exponential Lower Bound for the Permanent of Random Bernoulli Matrix
Abstract
Let Mn be an n× n matrix with independent uniform sign entries. We prove that there exist absolute constants C,c>0 such that, for all sufficiently large n, ℙ ( |Per(Mn)| ≥ e−Cn√(n!) ) ≥ 1−n−c. This establishes the exponential scale lower bound suggested by Tao and Vu. The proof bounds the cumulative logarithmic loss of the sum of squared permanents of minors under row exposure.

AB - Let M_n be an n× n matrix with independent uniform sign entries. We prove that there exist absolute constants C,c>0 such that, for all sufficiently large n, ℙ ( |Per(M_n)| ≥ e^−Cn√(n!) ) ≥ 1−n^−c. This establishes the exponential scale lower bound suggested by Tao and Vu. The proof bounds the cumulative logarithmic loss of the sum of squared permanents of minors under row exposure.
