Complex spherical codes with two inner products

Combinatorics 2015-07-23 v2

Abstract

A finite set XX in a complex sphere is called a complex spherical 22-code if the number of inner products between two distinct vectors in XX is equal to 22. In this paper, we characterize the tight complex spherical 22-codes by doubly regular tournaments, or skew Hadamard matrices. We also give certain maximal 2-codes relating to skew-symmetric DD-optimal designs. To prove them, we show the smallest embedding dimension of a tournament into a complex sphere by the multiplicity of the smallest or second-smallest eigenvalue of the Seidel matrix.
