Let ∆1, . . . ,∆K be d × n matrices. We define the row product of these matrices as a d × n matrix, whose rows are entry-wise products of rows of ∆1, . . . ,∆K . This construction arises in certain computer science problems. We study the question, to which extent the spectral and geometric properties of the row product of independent random matrices resemble those properties for a d × n matrix ...
