We use a simple description of the outer automorphism of S_6 to cleanly describe the invariant theory of six points in P^1, P^2, and P^3.
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…
In this paper we provide a general method to construct four-parameter families of complex Hadamard matrices of order six. Our approach is to write a 6-dimensional matrix as composed of four blocks, each one in the form of a circulant…
In this paper we present new Hadamard matrices and related combinatorial structures. In particular, it is constructed 5202 inequivalent Hadamard matrices of order 36 as well as 180538 Hadamard symmetric designs with 35 points in addition to…
We construct new pairs of orthogonal maximal abelian $*$-subalgebras of $M_6(\mathbb C)$, by classifying all self-adjoint complex Hadamard matrices of order 6. In particular, we exhibit a non-affine one-parameter family of non-equivalent…
This note gives an elementary proof that the symmetric groups possess only one exceptional symmetry. I am referring to the fact that the outer automorphism group of the symmetric group $S_n$ is trivial unless $n=6$ and the outer…
We investigate the structure of the automorphism groups of Kimura Hadamard matrices (KHMs) constructed from dihedral groups. We identify several different types of automorphisms, and show that the automorphism group of a KHM always has a…
We study topological properties of automorphisms of a 6-dimensional torus generated by integer matrices symplectic with respect to either the standard symplectic structure in six-dimensional linear space or a nonstandard symplectic…
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…
The question of existence of outer automorphisms of a simple algebraic group $G$ arises naturally both when working with the Galois cohomology of $G$ and as an example of the algebro-geometric problem of determining which connected…
A three-parameter family of complex Hadamard matrices of order 6 is presented. It significantly extends the set of closed form complex Hadamard matrices of this order, and in particular contains all previously described one- and…
Using the ideas of concatenation construction of codes over the $q$-ary alphabet, we modify the known generalized Sylvester-type construction of the Hadamard matrices. The new construction is based on two collections of the Hadamard…
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 give some very interesting matrices which are orthogonal over groups and, as far as we know, referenced, but in fact undocumented. This note is not intended to be published but available for archival reasons.
We describe the outer automorphism group of a one-ended fundamental group of a graph of groups, when edge groups are cyclic, and vertex groups are torsion-free with cyclic centralizers. We show that in this case the outer automorphism group…
The orbit decomposition is given under the automorphism group on the real split Jordan algebra of all hermitian matrices of order three corresponding to any real split composition algebra, or the automorphism group on the complexification,…
We give a cohomological criterion for existence of outer automorphisms of a semisimple algebraic group over an arbitrary field. This criterion is then applied to the special case of groups of type D_2n over a global field, which completes…
This paper gives a new explicit construction of the $\mathbb{Q}$-algebraic hull for virtually solvable groups $\Gamma$ of finite abelian ranks, taking into account the spectrum $S$ of the group $\Gamma$. As an application, we make a…
Our main result is the construction of symmetric Hadamard matrices of order q(1 + q) where q is a prime power congruent to 3 mod 8.
In this note, we compute the group of automorphisms of Projective, Affine and Euclidean Geometries in the sense of Klein. As an application, we give a simple construction of the outer automorphism of S_6.
