One of the main goals of design theory is to classify, characterize and count various combinatorial objects with some prescribed properties. In most cases, however, one quickly encounters a combinatorial explosion and even if the complete…

Complex Hadamard matrices, consisting of unimodular entries with arbitrary phases, play an important role in the theory of quantum information. We review basic properties of complex Hadamard matrices and present a catalogue of inequivalent…

Let ${\mathcal D}(n)$ be the maximal determinant for $n \times n$ $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices, and $\mathcal R(n) = {\mathcal D}(n)/n^{n/2}$ be the ratio of ${\mathcal D}(n)$ to the Hadamard upper bound. Using the probabilistic method, we prove…

We introduce Hadamard matrices whose entries are quaternionic. We then go on to provide classification of quaternionic Hadamard matrices of circulant core of orders 2 through 5. We also introduce quaternionic Hadamard matrices of Butson…

The condition number for eigenvalue computations is a well--studied quantity. But how small can we expect it to be? Namely, which is a perfectly conditioned matrix w.r.t. eigenvalue computations? In this note we answer this question with…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce new parametric families of complex Hadamard matrices in two different ways. First, we prove that every real Hadamard matrix of order N>=4 admits an affine orbit. This settles a recent open problem…

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…

A partial Hadamard matrix is a matrix $H\in M_{M\times N}(\mathbb T)$ whose rows are pairwise orthogonal. We associate to each such $H$ a certain quantum semigroup $G$ of quantum partial permutations of $\{1,...,M\}$ and study the…

We show that 138 odd values of n less than 10000 for which one knows how to construct a Hadamard matrix of order 4n have been overlooked in the recent handbook of combinatorial designs. There are four additional odd n, namely 191, 5767,…

For a sufficiently nice 2 dimensional shape, we define its approximating matrix (or patterned matrix) as a random matrix with iid entries arranged according to a given pattern. For large approximating matrices, we observe that 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…

A complete classification of quaternary complex Hadamard matrices of orders 10, 12 and 14 is given, and a new parametrization scheme for obtaining new examples of affine parametric families of complex Hadamard matrices is provided. On the…

We give an account of some results, both old and new, about any $n\times n$ Markov matrix that is embeddable in a one-parameter Markov semigroup. These include the fact that its eigenvalues must lie in a certain region in the unit ball. We…

In this note we present a formulae for all possible values of $(n-j)\times(n-j)$ minors of an Hadamard matrix of order $n$.

In this paper we provide an analytical procedure which leads to a system of $(n-2)^2$ polynomial equations whose solutions give the parameterisation of the complex $n\times n$ Hadamard matrices. It is shown that in general the Hadamard…

Six non-affine 3-parameter families of complex Hadamard matrices of order 8 are presented. These families contain Hadamard matrices that are not equivalent to any previously known Hadamard matrices in the literature. Each family arises from…

For positive integers $m$ and $n$, we denote by $\mathrm{BH}(m,n)$ the set of all $H\in M_{n\times n}(\mathbb{C})$ such that $HH^\ast=nI_n$ and each entry of $H$ is an $m$-th root of unity where $H^\ast$ is the adjoint matrix of $H$ and…

We show that the maximal determinant D(n) for $n \times n$ ${\pm 1}$-matrices satisfies $R(n) := D(n)/n^{n/2} \ge \kappa_d > 0$. Here $n^{n/2}$ is the Hadamard upper bound, and $\kappa_d$ depends only on $d := n-h$, where $h$ is the maximal…

We consider minimal submanifolds of negatively curved spaces with small curvature. We show that in a Hadamard space with negatively pinched curvature $-C\leq K\leq -1$, complete minimal submanifolds with second fundamental form less than…

An Hadamard matrix is a square matrix $H\in M_N(\pm1)$ whose rows and pairwise orthogonal. More generally, we can talk about the complex Hadamard matrices, which are the square matrices $H\in M_N(\mathbb C)$ whose entries are on the unit…
