Strongest checked neighboring result: The conjectured bound holds for commuting matrices and for matrices of rank at most \\(n/\\log^3 n\\); general concentration gives an extra \\(\\sqrt{\\log n}\\) factor. Exact unresolved remainder: Remove the logarithmic loss without rank or commutativity hypotheses.",
