The symmetric determinant magnitude conjecture for random sign matrices

Let MnsymM_n^{\mathrm{sym}} be an n×nn\times n symmetric random sign matrix.

Symmetric determinant magnitude conjecture. With probability 1o(1)1-o(1),

detMnsym=n(1/2o(1))n.|\det M_n^{\mathrm{sym}}|=n^{(1/2-o(1))n}.

Nguyen's and Vershynin's least-singular-value results, together with the semicircle law, confirm this conjecture, so it is solved.
