Abstract
We consider the least singular value of , where R, T, U, V are independent Haar-distributed unitary matrices and X, Y are deterministic diagonal matrices. Under weak conditions on X and Y, we show that the limiting distribution of the least singular value of M, suitably rescaled, is the same as the limiting distribution for the least singular value of a matrix of i.i.d. Gaussian random variables. Our proof is based on the dynamical method used by Che and Landon to study the local spectral statistics of sums of Hermitian matrices.
