A note on Barker polynomials

Number Theory 2014-06-24 v2

Abstract

We give a new proof of the fact that Barker polynomials of even degree greater than 12, and hence Barker sequences of odd length greater than 13 do not exist. This is intimately tied to irreducibility questions and proved as a consequence of a new result.
