Products of Independent non-Hermitian Random Matrices

Abstract

We consider the product of a finite number of non-Hermitian random matrices with i.i.d. centered entries of growing size. We assume that the entries have a finite moment of order bigger than two. We show that the empirical spectral distribution of the properly normalized product converges, almost surely, to a non-random, rotationally invariant distribution with compact support in the complex plane. The limiting distribution is a power of the circular law.
