The circular law asserts that if \({\mathbf {X}}_n\) is a \(n \times n\) matrix with iid complex entries of mean zero and unit variance, then the empirical spectral distribution of \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} {\mathbf {X}}_n\) converges almost surely to the uniform distribution on the unit disk as \(n\) tends to infinity. Answering a question of Tao, we prove the circular law for a general class of random block matrices with dependent entries. The proof relies on an inverse-type result for the concentration of linear operators and multilinear forms.
