By analyzing the connection between complex Hadamard matrices and spectral sets we prove the direction ``spectral -> tile'' of the Sectral Set Conjecture for all sets A of size at most 5 in any finite Abelian group. This result is then…

Let $D(n)$ be the maximal determinant for $n \times n$ $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices, and ${\mathcal R}(n) = D(n)/n^{n/2}$ be the ratio of $D(n)$ to the Hadamard upper bound. We give several new lower bounds on ${\mathcal R}(n)$ in terms of $d$,…

We employ tools from the fields of symbolic computation and satisfiability checking---namely, computer algebra systems and SAT solvers---to study the Williamson conjecture from combinatorial design theory and increase the bounds to which…

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…

Gao and Xie (2021) conjectured that the inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of any matroid is log-concave. Although the inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial may not always have only real roots, we conjecture that the Hadamard product of an…

The concept of switching has arisen in several different areas within combinatorics. The act of switching usually transforms a combinatorial object into a non-isomorphic object of the same type, in a way that some key property is preserved.…

The Seidel matrix of a tournament on $n$ players is an $n\times n$ skew-symmetric matrix with entries in $\{0, 1, -1\}$ that encapsulates the outcomes of the games in the given tournament. It is known that the determinant of an $n\times n$…

Heffter arrays are combinatorial structures used to construct orthogonal cyclic cycle decompositions and biembeddings of complete graphs onto surfaces. A Heffter array $H(m,n;h,k)$ is an $m \times n$ partially filled array with distinct…

We give a new characterization of skew Hadamard matrices of size $n$ in terms of the data of the spectra of tournaments of size $n-2$.

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…

In this paper Butson-type complex Hadamard matrices $\mathrm{BH}(n,q)$ of order $n$ and complexity $q$ are classified for small parameters by computer-aided methods. Our main results include the enumeration of $\mathrm{BH}(21,3)$,…

Let A be an n*n matrix with entries a_ij in the field C. Consider the following two involutive operations on such matrices: the matrix inversion I: A -> A^-1 and the element-by-element (or Hadamard) inversion J: a_ij -> a_ij^-1. We study…

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…

Call an $n$-by-$n$ invertible matrix $S$ a \emph{Perron similarity} if there is a real non-scalar diagonal matrix $D$ such that $S D S^{-1}$ is entrywise nonnegative. We give two characterizations of Perron similarities and study the…

Various results based on some convexity assumptions (involving the exponential map along with affine maps, geodesics and convex hulls) have been recently established on Hadamard manifolds. In this paper we prove that these conditions are…

All complex Hadamard matrices in dimensions two to five are known. We use this fact to derive all inequivalent sets of mutually unbiased (MU) bases in low dimensions. We find a three-parameter family of triples of MU bases in dimension four…

It is well-known that the evaluation of the permanent of an arbitrary $(-1,1)$-matrix is a formidable problem. Ryser's formula is one of the fastest known general algorithms for computing permanents. In this paper, Ryser's formula has been…

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…

We construct two difference families on each of the cyclic groups of order 109, 145 and 247, and use them to construct skew-Hadamard matrices of orders 436, 580 and 988. Such difference families and matrices are constructed here for the…

In 2019, Perondi and Carmelo determined the set multipartite Ramsey number of particular complete bipartite graphs by establishing a relationship between the set multipartite Ramsey number, Hadamard matrices, and strongly regular graphs,…
