We establish Hadamard-type inequalities for a class of symmetric matrices called $k$-positive matrices for which the $m$-th elementary symmetric functions of their eigenvalues are positive for all $m\leq k$. These matrices arise naturally…

Hadamard matrices are $(-1, +1)$ square matrices with mutually orthogonal rows. The Hadamard conjecture states that Hadamard matrices of order $n$ exist whenever $n$ is $1$, $2$, or a multiple of $4$. However, no construction is known that…

We construct many symmetric Hadamard matrices of small order by using the so called propus construction. The necessary difference families are constructed by restricting the search to the families which admit a nontrivial multiplier. Our…

Complex Hadamard matrices are biunitaries for spin model commuting squares. The corresponding subfactor standard invariant can be identified with the $1$-eigenspace of the angle operator defined by Jones. We identify the angle operator as…

In this paper we construct a new, previously unknown four-parameter family of complex Hadamard matrices of order 6, the entries of which are described by algebraic functions of roots of various sextic polynomials. We conjecture that the…

A new construction of complex Hadamard matrices of composite order d=pq, with primes p,q, is presented which is based on pairs of mutually unbiased bases containing only product states. For product dimensions d < 100, we illustrate the…

We introduce gamma structures on regular hypergeometric D--modules in dimension 1 as special one--parametric systems of solutions on the compact subtorus. We note that a balanced gamma product is in the Paley--Wiener class and show that the…

First examples of symmetric Hadamard matrices of orders 508 and 764 are constructed. The method used is known as the propus construction. A conjecture regarding this method is formally proposed but it appears implicitly in three previous…

In this article, we consider a special class of Williamson type matrices which we call them near Williamson matrices. They are in fact four $n\times n$ $(-1, 1)$-matrices $A, B, C, D$ so that $A$ is circulant, $B,C,D$ are symmetric…

There are several well-known methods that one can use to construct Hadamard matrices from base sequences BS(m,n). In view of the recent classification of base sequences BS(n+1,n) for n <= 30, it may be of interest to show on an example how…

We construct new, previously unknown parametric families of complex conference matrices and of complex Hadamard matrices of square orders and related them to complex equiangular tight frames.

We discuss an extension of the almost Hadamard matrix formalism, to the case of complex matrices. Quite surprisingly, the situation here is very different from the one in the real case, and our conjectural conclusion is that there should be…

We investigate the number of real entries of an $n\times n$ complex Hadamard matrix (CHM). We analytically derive the numbers when $n=2,3,4,6$. In particular, the number can be any one of $0-22,24,25,26,30$ for $n=6$. We apply our result to…

We introduce qustochastic matrices as the bistochastic matrices arising from quaternionic unitary matrices by replacing each entry with the square of its norm. This is the quaternionic analogue of the unistochastic matrices studied by…

Let A be an association scheme on q\geq 3 vertices. We show that the Bose-Mesner algebra of the generalized Hamming scheme H(n,A), for n\geq 2, is not the Nomura algebra of a type II matrix. This result gives examples of formally self-dual…

A natural family of quantized matrix algebras is introduced. It includes the two best studied such. Located inside ${\s U}_q(A_{2n-1})$, it consists of quadratic algebras with the same Hilbert series as polynomials in $n^2$ variables. We…

Unit derived schemes applied to Hadamard matrices are used to construct and analyse linear block and convolutional codes. Codes are constructed to prescribed types, lengths and rates and multiple series of self-dual, dual-containing, linear…

It was shown by LeCompte, Martin, and Oweans in 2010 that the existence of mutually unbiased Hadamard matrices and the identity matrix, which coincide with mutually unbiased bases, is equivalent to that of a $Q$-polynomial association…

We update the list of odd integers n<10000 for which an Hadamard matrix of order 4n is known to exist. We also exhibit the first example of base sequences BS(40,39). Consequently, there exist T-sequences TS(n) of length n=79. The first…

We introduce the notion of quadri-algebras. These are associative algebras for which the multiplication can be decomposed as the sum of four operations in a certain coherent manner. We present several examples of quadri-algebras: the…
