The Matrix Spencer Conjecture for Finite Groups

The group version of the Matrix Spencer conjecture holds: for every finite group $G$ there are signs $\varepsilon \in \{\pm 1\}^G$ with $\left\|\sum_{g \in G} \varepsilon_g \rho(g)\right\| \le C\sqrt{|G|}$, where $\rho$ is the left regular representation and $C$ is universal.
