One of the main goals of design theory is to classify, characterize and count various combinatorial objects with some prescribed properties. In most cases, however, one quickly encounters a combinatorial explosion and even if the complete…

An infinite family of exactly-solvable and integrable potentials on a plane is introduced. It is shown that all already known rational potentials with the above properties allowing separation of variables in polar coordinates are particular…

We introduce a new family of finite posets which we call 2-chains. These first arose in the study of 0-Hecke algebras, but they admit a variety of different characterisations. We give these characterisations, prove that they are equivalent…

Applications in quantum information theory and quantum tomography have raised current interest in complex Hadamard matrices. In this note we investigate the connection between tiling Abelian groups and constructions of complex Hadamard…

Solving a problem of Diestel and Pott, we construct a large class of infinite matroids. These can be used to provide counterexamples against the natural extension of the Well-quasi-ordering-Conjecture to infinite matroids and to show that…

Every set (finite or infinite) of quantum vectors (states) satisfies generalized orthoarguesian equations ($n$OA). We consider two 3-dim Kochen-Specker (KS) sets of vectors and show how each of them should be represented by means of a Hasse…

Thin sums matroids were introduced to extend the notion of representability to non-finitary matroids. We give a new criterion for testing when the thin sums construction gives a matroid. We show that thin sums matroids over thin families…

We introduce two classes of Hadamard matrices of Goethals-Seidel type and construct many matrices in these classes.

We show that any two Hadamard subfactors arising from a pair of distinct complex Hadamard matrices of order 3 are either equal or conjugate by a unitary in the relative commutant of their intersection. Moreover, when the Hadamard subfactors…

A new family of asymmetric matrices of Walsh-Hadamard type is introduced. We study their properties and, in particular, compute their determinants and discuss their eigenvalues. The invertibility of these matrices implies that certain…

In this paper, we generalize classical constructions of skew Hadamard difference families with two or four blocks in the additive groups of finite fields given by Szekeres (1969, 1971), Whiteman (1971) and Wallis-Whiteman (1972). In…

We construct Hadamard matrices of orders 4x251 = 1004 and 4x631 = 2524, and skew-Hadamard matrices of orders 4x213 = 852 and 4x631 = 2524. As far as we know, such matrices have not been constructed previously. The constructions use the…

We construct a new family of homomorphisms between (graded) Specht modules of the quiver Hecke algebras of type A. These maps have many similarities with the homomorphisms constructed by Carter and Payne in the special case of the symmetric…

The Kochen-Specker Theorem is widely interpreted to imply that non-contextual hidden variable theories that agree with the predictions of Copenhagen quantum mechanics are impossible. The import of the theorem for a novel observer…

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…

Let $\mathbb{P}_G([0,\infty))$ and $\mathbb{P}_G^{'}([0,\infty))$ be the sets of positive semidefinite and positive definite matrices of order $n$, respectively, with nonnegative entries, where some positions of zero entries are restricted…

Generalizing the theory of parity sheaves on complex algebraic stacks due to Juteau-Mautner-Williamson, we develop a theory of twisted equivariant parity sheaves. We use this formalism to construct a modular incarnation of Lusztig and Yun's…

Kochen-Specker (KS) sets are key tools for proving some fundamental results in quantum theory and also have potential applications in quantum information processing. However, so far, their intrinsic complexity has prevented experimentalists…

Kronecker products of unitary Fourier matrices play important role in solving multilevel circulant systems by a multidimensional Fast Fourier Transform. They are also special cases of complex Hadamard (Zeilinger) matrices arising in many…

We describe families of complete orthogonal bases of full rank matrices which span the vector spaces of square matrices. The proposed bases generalise non-trivially the Pauli matrice while shedding light on their algebraic properties.…
