Construction of the outer automorphism of S6 via a complex Hadamard matrix

Combinatorics 2018-05-04 v1

Abstract

We give a new construction of the outer automorphism of the symmetric group on six points. Our construction features a complex Hadamard matrix of order six containing third roots of unity and the algebra of split quaternions over the real numbers.
