Symmetric and skew-symmetric $\{0,\pm 1\}$-matrices with large determinants

Combinatorics 2017-07-18 v3

Abstract

We show that the existence of {±1}\{\pm 1\}-matrices having largest possible determinant is equivalent to the existence of certain tournament matrices. In particular, we prove a recent conjecture of Armario. We also show that large submatrices of conference matrices are determined by their spectrum.
