Morphisms of Skew Hadamard Matrices

Combinatorics 2020-04-20 v4

Abstract

Quaternary unit Hadamard (QUH) matrices were introduced by Fender, Kharagani and Suda along with a method to construct them at prime power orders. We present a novel construction of real Hadamard matrices from QUH matrices. Our construction recovers the result by Mukhopadhyay on the existence of real Hadamard matrices of order qn+qn1q^n+q^{n-1} for each prime power q3mod4q\equiv 3\mod 4. Furthermore we provide nonexistence conditions for QUH matrices.
