Vinzant's Conjecture on Phase Retrieval Injectivity

Vinzant conjectured, in a form later restated by Bandeira, that the $4M-4$ threshold for injective complex phase retrieval is sharp. Part (1) holds: for $A \in \mathbb{C}^{N \times M}$ with $N = 4M-5$ and i.i.d. standard complex Gaussian entries, the phase retrieval map generated by $A$ fails to be injective with positive probability.
