Vu's distinct singular values conjecture for random symmetric Bernoulli matrices

From papers

Let MnsymM_n^{sym} be a random symmetric matrix with Bernoulli pm1pm 1 entries.

Vu's distinct singular values conjecture. With probability 1o(1)1-o(1), all the singular values of MnsymM_n^{sym} are distinct.

This conjecture is motivated by the study of repeated singular values of random symmetric matrices. The paper proves a strong quantitative version for singular values in a bulk portion of the spectrum, but the full statement remains unresolved.
