Vinzant's refined conjecture on random complex phase retrieval

Let N=4M5N=4M-5 and let ACN×MA\in\mathbb C^{N\times M} have entries drawn independently from the standard complex Gaussian distribution, where a standard complex Gaussian has the law of a+iba+ib with independent a,bN(0,12)a,b\sim\mathcal N(0,\frac12). Let pMp_M be the probability that the phase retrieval map ΦA\Phi_A is injective. Vinzant's refined conjecture. One has

pM<1for all M,p_M<1\quad\text{for all }M,

and

limMpM=0.\lim_{M\to\infty}p_M=0.

The paper proves the first part by showing that the non-injectivity probability is positive for every MM, while the asymptotic assertion remains open in the supplied text.
