[ Abstract ]
Consider the matrix $\sfA_\GG$ chosen uniformly at random from the finite
set of all $N$-dimensional matrices of zero main-diagonal and binary entries,
having each row and column of $\sfA_\GG$ sum to $d$.
That is, the adjacency matrix for the uniformly random
$d$-regular simple digraph $\GG$. Fixing $d \ge 3$, it has long been conjectured
that as $N \to \infty$ the corresponding empirical eigenvalue distributions converge
weakly, in probability, to an explicit non-random limit,
given by the Brown measure of the free sum of $d$ Haar unitary operators.
We reduce this conjecture to bounding the decay in $N$ of the probability that
the minimal singular value of the shifted matrix $\sfA(w) = \sfA_\GG - w \sfI$
is very small. While the latter remains a challenging task, the required bound is
comparable to the recently established control on the singularity of $\sfA_\GG$.
The reduction is achieved here by sharp estimates
on the behavior at large $N$, near the real line, of the Green's function (aka resolvent)
of the Hermitization of $\sfA(w)$, which is of independent interest.
