We show the optimal coherence of $2d$ lines in $\mathbb{C}^{d}$ is given by the Welch bound whenever a skew Hadamard of order $d+1$ exists. Our proof uses a variant of Hadamard doubling that converts any equiangular tight frame of size…
We study the iteration that replaces a planar hexagon by the hexagon formed by joining the midpoints of consecutive edges. While this iteration quickly drives any polygon toward a point and their shapes asymptotically regularize, we show a…
The low-energy expansion of closed-string scattering amplitudes at genus one introduces infinite families of non-holomorphic modular forms called modular graph forms. Their differential and number-theoretic properties motivated Brown's…
We develop the theory of linear evolution equations associated with the adjacency matrix of a graph, focusing in particular on infinite graphs of two kinds: uniformly locally finite graphs as well as locally finite line graphs. We discuss…
In this work, we show that a complex equiangular tight frame (ETF) composed by $N$ vectors in dimension $d$ exists if and only if a certain bistochastic matrix, univocally determined by $N$ and $d$, belongs to a special class of…
The paper is devoted to modal properties of the ternary strict betweenness relation as used in the development of various systems of geometry. We show that such a relation is non-definable in a basic similarity type with a binary operator…
Equiangular tight frames (ETFs) may be used to construct examples of feasible points for semidefinite programs arising in sum-of-squares (SOS) optimization. We show how generalizing the calculations in a recent work of the authors' that…
We give a number of algorithms for constructing unitary matrices and tight frames with specialized properties. These were produced at the request of researchers at the Frame Research Center (www.framerc.org) to help with their research on…
A set of vectors of equal norm in $\mathbb{C}^d$ represents equiangular lines if the magnitudes of the inner product of every pair of distinct vectors in the set are equal. The maximum size of such a set is $d^2$, and it is conjectured that…
In this paper, we give constructions of strongly regular Cayley graphs and skew Hadamard difference sets. Both constructions are based on choosing cyclotomic classes in finite fields, and our results generalize ten of the eleven sporadic…
A finite collection of unit vectors $S \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is called a spherical two-distance set if there are two numbers $a$ and $b$ such that the inner products of distinct vectors from $S$ are either $a$ or $b$. We prove that if $a\ne…
This paper is concerned with achieving optimal coherence for highly redundant real unit-norm frames. As the redundancy grows, the number of vectors in the frame becomes too large to admit equiangular arrangements. In this case, other…
Orthogonal array and a large set of orthogonal arrays are important research objects in combinatorial design theory, and they are widely applied to statistics, computer science, coding theory and cryptography. In this paper, some new series…
We study lines through the origin of finite-dimensional complex vector spaces that enjoy a doubly transitive automorphism group. In doing so, we make fundamental connections with both discrete geometry and algebraic combinatorics. In…
In this paper, we give a construction of strongly regular Cayley graphs and a construction of skew Hadamard difference sets. Both constructions are based on choosing cyclotomic classes in finite fields, and they generalize the constructions…
We wish to draw attention to an interesting and promising interaction of two theories. On the one hand, it is the theory of \textbf{pseudo-triangulations} which was useful for implicit solution of thecarpenter's rule problem and proved…
Totally equimodular matrices generalize totally unimodular matrices and arise in the context of box-total dual integral polyhedra. This work further explores the parallels between these two classes and introduces foundational building…
In this paper we demonstrate that there are distinct differences between real and complex equiangular tight frames (ETFs) with regards to erasures. For example, we prove that there exist arbitrarily large non-trivial complex equiangular…
The construction of optimal line packings in real or complex Euclidean spaces has shown to be a tantalizingly difficult task, because it includes the problem of finding maximal sets of equiangular lines. In the regime where equiangular…
Equi-chordal and equi-isoclinic tight fusion frames (ECTFFs and EITFFs) are both types of optimal packings of subspaces in Euclidean spaces. In the special case where these subspaces are one-dimensional, ECTFFs and EITFFs both correspond to…
