The spectral edge of sparse directed Erdös-Rényi graphs

Let $d>1$ be fixed and let $A_n$ be an $n\times n$ matrix with independent $\Ber(d/n)$ entries. For every $0<r<\sqrt d$, we prove that, with high probability, a positive proportion of the eigenvalues of $A_n$ have modulus larger than $r$. Together with the known upper bound, this implies that the mo
