Periodic Golay pairs are a generalization of ordinary Golay pairs. They can be used to construct Hadamard matrices. A positive integer $v$ is a (periodic) Golay number if there exists a (periodic) Golay pair of length $v$. Taking into the…
One of the most promising structural approaches to resolving the Hadamard Conjecture uses the family of cocyclic matrices over ${\mathbb Z} _t \times {\mathbb Z}_2^2$. Two types of equivalence relations for classifying cocyclic matrices…
Golay complementary sequences have been put a high value on the applications in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems since its good peak-to-mean envelope power ratio(PMEPR) properties. However, with the increase of the…
A Hadamard matrix $H$ of order $n$ is a square matrix with entries $\pm 1$ satisfying $HH^T = nI_n$, where $I_n$ is the identity matrix of order $n$. A circulant Hadamard matrix is a Hadamard matrix whose rows are cyclic shifts of one…
Provided that a cohomological model for $G$ is known, we describe a method for constructing a basis for $n$-cocycles over $G$, from which the whole set of $n$-dimensional $n$-cocyclic matrices over $G$ may be straightforwardly calculated.…
Codes from generalized Hadamard matrices have already been introduced. Here we deal with these codes when the generalized Hadamard matrices are cocyclic. As a consequence, a new class of codes that we call generalized Hadamard full…
We construct supplementary difference sets (SDS) with parameters $(72;36,30;30)$. These SDSs give periodic Golay pairs of length 72. No periodic Golay pair of length 72 was known previously. The smallest undecided order for periodic Golay…
In light of recent interest in Hadamard diagonalisable graphs (graphs whose Laplacian matrix is diagonalisable by a Hadamard matrix), we generalise this notion from real to complex Hadamard matrices. We give some basic properties and…
Generalized perfect binary arrays (GPBAs) were used by Jedwab to construct perfect binary arrays. A non-trivial GPBA can exist only if its energy is $2$ or a multiple of $4$. This paper introduces generalized optimal binary arrays (GOBAs)…
A Hadamard matrix is a scaled orthogonal matrix with $\pm 1$ entries. Such matrices exist in certain dimensions: the Hadamard conjecture is that such a matrix always exists when $n$ is a multiple of 4. A conjecture attributed to Ryser is…
In this paper we use a design theoretical approach to construct new, previously unknown complex Hadamard matrices. Our methods generalize and extend the earlier results of de la Harpe--Jones and Munemasa--Watatani and offer a theoretical…
The notion of formal duality in finite Abelian groups appeared recently in relation to spherical designs, tight sphere packings, and energy minimizing configurations in Euclidean spaces. For finite cyclic groups it is conjectured that there…
A characterization of $\mathbb{Z} _t \times \mathbb{Z}_2^2$-cocyclic Hadamard matrices is described, depending on the notions of {\em distributions}, {\em ingredients} and {\em recipes}. In particular, these notions lead to the…
We construct a series HMT$(n)$ of $2$-dimensional simplicial complexes with torsion $H_1($HMT$(n))=(\mathbb{Z}_2)^{{k}\choose{1}} \times (\mathbb{Z}_4)^{{k}\choose{2}} \times \cdots \times (\mathbb{Z}_{2^k})^{{k}\choose{k}}$,…
We study the Hadamard product of the linear forms defining a hyperplane arrangement with those of its dual, which we view as generating an ideal in a certain polynomial ring. We use this ideal, which we call the ideal of pairs, to study…
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…
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…
The concept of cyclic tridiagonal pairs is introduced, and explicit examples are given. For a fairly general class of cyclic tridiagonal pairs with cyclicity N, we associate a pair of `divided polynomials'. The properties of this pair…
Two submatrices $A,D$ of a Hadamard matrix $H$ are called complementary if, up to a permutation of rows and columns, $H=[^A_C{\ }^B_D]$. We find here an explicit formula for the polar decomposition of $D$. As an application, we show that…
An analytical method for getting new complex Hadamard matrices by using mutually unbiased bases and a nonlinear doubling formula is provided. The method is illustrated with the n=4 case that leads to a rich family of eight-dimensional…
