DESCRIPTION: Let M_n be a uniformly-chosen random symmetric n x n matrix wi
 th entries in {-1\,1}. What is the probability for det(M_n)=0? A wellknown 
 conjecture states that the probability of this event is asymptotically equa
 l to the probability that two of the rows or columns of M_n are equal (up t
 o a factor of +-1) and hence is equal to \Theta(n^2 2^{-n}).   We developed
  an inverse Littlewood-Offord theorem in Z^n_p that applies under very mild
  conditions and made progress towards this conjecture\, showing that the pr
 obability is bounded by exp(-c\sqrt{n}).   Joint work with Marcelo Campos\,
  Robert Morris and Natasha Morrison.
