All generalized Hadamard matrices of order 18 over a group of order 3, H(6,3), are enumerated in two different ways: once, as class regular symmetric (6,3)-nets, or symmetric transversal designs on 54 points and 54 blocks with a group of…
We enumerate all circulant good matrices with odd orders divisible by 3 up to order 70. As a consequence of this we find a previously overlooked set of good matrices of order 27 and a new set of good matrices of order 57. We also find that…
In the classical probability model, let $f(n)$ be the maximum number of pairwise independent events for the sample space with $n$ sample points. The determination of $f(n)$ is equivalent to the problem of determining the maximum cardinality…
In a celebrated paper of 1893, Hadamard established the maximal determinant theorem, which establishes an upper bound on the determinant of a matrix with complex entries of norm at most $1$. His paper concludes with the suggestion that…
We introduce a class of regular unit Hadamard matrices whose entries consist of two complex numbers and their conjugates for a total of four complex numbers. We then show that these matrices are contained in the Bose-Mesner algebra of an…
Provided that a cohomological model for $G$ is known, we describe a method for constructing a basis for $n$-cocycles over $G$, from which the whole set of $n$-dimensional $n$-cocyclic matrices over $G$ may be straightforwardly calculated.…
We define quantum automorphisms and isomorphisms of Hadamard matrices. We show that every Hadamard matrix of size $N\ge 4$ has quantum symmetries and that all Hadamard matrices of a fixed size are mutually quantum isomorphic. These results…
In this paper we modify a fundamental block construction of Kharaghani and Seberry and show how to use certain circulant $\{-1,1\}$-matrices of odd order $p$ to construct a complex Hadamard matrix of order $2p$. In particular, for $p=47$ we…
We introduce mutually unbiased complex Hadamard (MUCH) matrices and show that the number of MUCH matrices of order 2n, n odd, is at most 2 and the bound is attained for n = 1,5,9. Furthermore, we prove that certain pairs of mutually…
A famous result of Horn and Fitzgerald is that the $\beta$-th Hadamard power of any $n\times n$ positive semi-definite (p.s.d) matrix with non-negative entries is p.s.d $\forall \beta\geq n-2$ and is not necessarliy p.s.d for $\beta< n-2,$…
We consider the set $\mathcal M_n(\mathbb Z; H)$ of $n\times n$-matrices with integer elements of size at most $H$ and obtain upper bounds on the number of matrices from $\mathcal M_n(\mathbb Z; H)$, for which the characteristic polynomial…
We will show that in a space of dimension $m$, any family of $2^{m-1}$ distinct Hadamard vectors (where you can choose x or -x but not both) can be partitioned into Hadamard matrices if and only if $m=2^n$ for some n. We will solve this…
Consider an nxn random matrix X with i.i.d. nonnegative entries with bounded density, mean m, and finite positive variance sigma^2. Let M be the nxn random Markov matrix with i.i.d. rows obtained from X by dividing each row of X by its sum.…
We systematically explore the new method of construction (known as the propus construction) of symmetric Hadamard matrices for small orders, $4v$. In particular we give the first examples of symmetric Hadamard matrices of order $156=4\cdot…
Patterned random matrices such as the reverse circulant, the symmetric circulant, the Toeplitz and the Hankel matrices and their almost sure limiting spectral distribution (LSD), have attracted much attention. Under the assumption that the…
We analyze the set of real and complex Hadamard matrices with additional symmetry constrains. In particular, we link the problem of existence of maximally entangled multipartite states of $2k$ subsystems with $d$ levels each to the set of…
In this paper, we make significant progress on a conjecture proposed by Dan Archdeacon on the existence of integer Heffter arrays $H(m,n;s,k)$ whenever the necessary conditions hold, that is, $3\leqslant s \leqslant n$, $3\leqslant…
We prove a conjecture due to Wanless about the permanent of Hadamard matrices in the particular case of Sylvester-Hadamard matrices. Namely we show that for all n greater or equal to 2, the dyadic valuation of the permanent of the…
A Butson Hadamard matrix $H$ has entries in the kth roots of unity, and satisfies the matrix equation $HH^{\ast} = nI_{n}$. We write $\mathrm{BH}(n, k)$ for the set of such matrices. A complete morphism of Butson matrices is a map…
The refined inertia of a square real matrix $A$ is the ordered $4$-tuple $(n_+, n_-, n_z, 2n_p)$, where $n_+$ (resp., $n_-$) is the number of eigenvalues of $A$ with positive (resp., negative) real part, $n_z$ is the number of zero…
