An Hadamard matrix is a square matrix $H\in M_N(\pm1)$ whose rows and pairwise orthogonal. More generally, we can talk about the complex Hadamard matrices, which are the square matrices $H\in M_N(\mathbb C)$ whose entries are on the unit…

Hadamard matrices are square $n\times n$ matrices whose entries are ones and minus ones and whose rows are orthogonal to each other with respect to the standard scalar product in $\Bbb R^n$. Each Hadamard matrix can be transformed to a…

A partial Hadamard matrix is a matrix $H\in M_{M\times N}(\mathbb T)$ whose rows are pairwise orthogonal. We associate to each such $H$ a certain quantum semigroup $G$ of quantum partial permutations of $\{1,...,M\}$ and study the…

We axiomatize and study the matrices of type $H\in M_N(A)$, having unitary entries, $H_{ij}\in U(A)$, and whose rows and columns are subject to orthogonality type conditions. Here $A$ can be any $C^*$-algebra, for instance $A=\mathbb C$,…

We study $m \times n$ matrices whose columns are of the form \[\{(a_{1j},\ldots, a_{nj}): \quad a_{1j} = \lambda_j,\ a_{ij} = \pm\lambda_j\ , \ \lambda_j >0 ,\ j=1,2,\ldots,n\}.\] We explicitly construct for all $a = (a_1,\ldots,…

Many interesting examples of complex Hadamard matrices $H\in M_N(\mathbb C)$ can be put, up to the standard equivalence relation for such matrices, in bistochastic form. We discuss here this phenomenon, with a number of computations for…

The complete classification of $6\times 6$ complex Hadamard matrices (CHMs) is a long-standing open problem. In this paper we investigate a series of CHMs, such as the CHMs containing a $2\times 3$ submatrix with rank one, the CHMs…

We study the existence and construction of circulant matrices $C$ of order $n\geq2$ with diagonal entries $d\geq0$, off-diagonal entries $\pm1$ and mutually orthogonal rows. These matrices generalize circulant conference ($d=0$) and…

We develop a general theory of "almost Hadamard matrices". These are by definition the matrices $H\in M_N(\mathbb R)$ having the property that $U=H/\sqrt{N}$ is orthogonal, and is a local maximum of the 1-norm on O(N). Our study includes a…

It is shown that a normalized complex Hadamard matrix of order $6$ having three distinct columns, each containing at least one $-1$ entry necessarily belongs to the transposed Fourier family, or to the family of $2$-circulant complex…

We prove that there is no circulant Hadamard matrix $H$ with first row $[h_{1},\ldots,h_{n}]$ of order $n>4$, under a condition about a sum of scalar products of rows of two other circulant matrices of size $n/2$ associated to $H.$

For a matroid $M$, an element $e$ such that both $M\backslash e$ and $M/e$ are regular is called a regular element of $M$. We determine completely the structure of non-regular matroids with at least two regular elements. Besides four small…

We analyze the set of real and complex Hadamard matrices with additional symmetry constrains. In particular, we link the problem of existence of maximally entangled multipartite states of $2k$ subsystems with $d$ levels each to the set of…

The collection of cyclic Hadamard matrices {H = (a_{i - j}) : 0 <= i, j < n, and a_i = -1, 1} of order n is characterized by the orthogonality relation HH^T = nI. Only two of such matrices are currently known. It will be shown that this…

We consider the groups of regular circulant matrices over finite fields and integer residue class rings. In both cases we present a formula for the order of these groups. We also make a first step towards finding the algebraic structure of…

Complex Hadamard matrices H of order 6 are characterized in a novel manner, according to the presence/absence of order 2 Hadamard submatrices. It is shown that if there exists one such submatrix, H is equivalent to a Hadamard matrix where…

We study the isolated partial Hadamard matrices, under the assumption that the entries are roots of unity, or more generally, under the assumption that the combinatorics comes from vanishing sums of roots of unity. We first review the…

The $N\times N$ complex Hadamard matrices form a real algebraic manifold $C_N$. The singularity at a point $H\in C_N$ is described by a filtration of cones $T^\times_HC_N\subset T^\circ_HC_N\subset T_HC_N\subset\widetilde{T}_HC_N$, coming…

Let M be a complex of D-modules with bounded holonomic cohomology on a complex manifold. In this note, we prove that if the derived tensor product of M with itself is regular, then M is regular.

Hadamard matrices in $\{0,1\}$ presentation are square $m\times m$ matrices whose entries are zeros and ones and whose rows considered as vectors in $\Bbb R^m$ produce the Gram matrix of a special form with respect to the standard scalar…
