Abstract
The defect of a complex Hadamard matrix is an upper bound for the dimension of a continuous Hadamard orbit stemming from . We provide a new interpretation of the defect as the dimension of the center subspace of a gradient flow and apply the Center Manifold Theorem of dynamical systems theory to study local structure in spaces of complex Hadamard matrices. Through examples, we provide several applications of our methodology including the construction of affine families of Hadamard matrices.
