Title:  Singularity of Bernoulli random matrices

Abstract:  Abstract: Let X_1,X_2,...,X_n be independent random vectors uniformly distributed on vertices of the n-dimensional cube [-1,1]^n. What is the probability that the vectors are linearly dependent? The question has been studied in the literature since 1960-es, and it was conjectured that

P{the vectors are linearly dependent}=(0.5+o(1))^n.

In this talk, we will discuss a proof of this conjecture based on analysis of the associated random matrix.
