In this note we report the classification of all symmetric 2-(36,15,6) designs that admit an automorphism of order 2 and their incidence matrices generate an extremal ternary self-dual code. It is shown that up to isomorphism, there exists…
The structure of the algebra K[M] of the Chinese monoid M over a field K is studied. The minimal prime ideals are described. They are determined by certain homogeneous congruences on M and they are in a one to one correspondence with…
We study a 3D generalization of the toric code model introduced recently by Chamon. This is an exactly solvable spin model with six-qubit nearest neighbor interactions on an FCC lattice whose ground space exhibits topological quantum order.…
The reduced density matrix is variationally optimized for the two-dimensional Hubbard model. Exploiting all symmetries present in the system, we have been able to study $6\times6$ lattices at various fillings and different values for the…
We consider nonsymmetric hermitian complex Hadamard matrices belonging to the Bose-Mesner algebra of commutative nonsymmetric association schemes. First, we give a characterization of the eigenmatrix of a commutative nonsymmetric…
The paper presents an algorithm for topological classification of nondegenerate saddle-focus singularities of integrable Hamiltonian systems with three degrees of freedom up to semi-local equivalence. In particular, we prove that any…
For every positive integer $k$ such that $k>1,$ there are an infinity of odd integers $h$ with $\omega(h) =k$ distinct prime divisors such that there do not exist a Circulant Hadamard matrix $H$ of order $n=4h^2.$ Moreover, our main result…
A notable difference between the ordinary and Hadamard products is that the Hadamard product of two singular positive semidefinite matrices can be nonsingular, and one of the factors can even be indefinite. We present an eigenvalue lower…

In this paper, we obtain a number of new infinite families of Hadamard matrices. Our constructions are based on four new constructions of difference families with four or eight blocks. By applying the Wallis-Whiteman array or the Kharaghani…
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…
A matching on a set $X$ is a collection of pairwise disjoint subsets of $X$ of size two. Using computers, we analyze the integral homology of the matching complex $M_n$, which is the simplicial complex of matchings on the set $\{1, >...,…
We have exactly enumerated all sequences and conformations of HP proteins with chains of up to 19 monomers on the simple cubic lattice. For two variants of the hydrophobic-polar (HP) model, where only two types of monomers are…
We study a scheme M closely related to the set of pairs of n by n-matrices with rank 1 commutator. We show that M is a reduced complete intersection with n+1 irreducible components, which we describe. There is a distinguished Lagrangian…
A binary matrix satisfies the consecutive ones property (COP) if its columns can be permuted such that the ones in each row of the resulting matrix are consecutive. Equivalently, a family of sets F = {Q_1,..,Q_m}, where Q_i is subset of R…
This paper considers three separate matrices associated to graphs and (each dimension of) cell complexes. It relates all the coefficients of their respective characteristic polynomials to the geometric and combinatorial enumeration of three…
We study a certain family of simple fusion systems over finite $3$-groups, ones that involve Todd modules of the Mathieu groups $2M_{12}$, $M_{11}$, and $A_6=O^2(M_{10})$ over $\mathbb{F}_3$, and show that they are all isomorphic to the…
A lemma by Chen et al. [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 50, 475304 (2017)] provides a necessary condition on the structure of any complex Hadamard matrix in a set of four mutually unbiased bases in $\mathbb{C}^6$. The proof of the lemma is shown…
This paper has an expository nature. We compare the spectral properties (such as boundedness and compactness) of three families of semi-infinite matrices and point out similarities between them. The common feature of these families is that…
It is demonstrated that each nearly neighbourly family of standard boxes in $\mathbb{R}^3$ has at most 12 elements. A combinatorial classification of all such families that have exactly 12 elements is given. All families satisfying an extra…
