Abstract

Form an n × n matrix by drawing entries independently from {±1} (or another fixed nontrivial finitely supported distribution in Z) and let φ be the characteristic polynomial. We show, conditionally on the extended Riemann hypothesis, that with high probability φ is irreducible and Gal(φ) ≥ A_n.
