It has been conjectured that for a sufficiently large $n$, and $p = p_n \in [\log(n)/n, 1/2)$, the probability that a $n\times n$ Bernoulli($p$) matrix $A$ is singular equals to the probability that $A$ contains of a zero row or zero column up to a negligible error.

This conjecture has been recently proved by Litvak-Tikhomirov in the regime $ C\log(n)/ n < p < 1/C$ for some universal constant $C>1$ with their new tool. While for $p = (1+o(1)) \log(n) /n$, it also holds due to a result of Basak-Rudelson. In this talk, we will discuss how to extend their results to fill the gap between these two regions.
