Abstract

If q=pnq = p^n is a prime power, then a dd-dimensional \emph{qq-Butson Hadamard matrix} HH is a d×dd\times d matrix with all entries qqth roots of unity such that HH=dIdHH^* = dI_d. We use algebraic number theory to prove a strong constraint on the dimension of a circulant qq-Butson Hadamard matrix when d=pmd = p^m and then explicitly construct a family of examples in all possible dimensions. These results relate to the long-standing circulant Hadamard matrix conjecture in combinatorics.
