In this paper we construct exponentionally many non-isomorphic skew Hadamard difference sets over an elementary abelian group of order $q^3$.

Using a class of permutation polynomials of $F_{3^{2h+1}}$ obtained from the Ree-Tits symplectic spreads in $PG(3,3^{2h+1})$, we construct a family of skew Hadamard difference sets in the additive group of $F_{3^{2h+1}}$. With the help of a…

We find new constructions of infinite families of skew Hadamard difference sets in elementary abelian groups under the assumption of the existence of cyclotomic strongly regular graphs. Our construction is based on choosing cyclotomic…

Skew Hadamard difference sets are an interesting topic of study for over seventy years. For a long time, it had been conjectured the classical Paley difference sets (the set of nonzero quadratic residues in $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q \equiv 3…

We revisit the old idea of constructing difference sets from cyclotomic classes. Two constructions of skew Hadamard difference sets are given in the additive groups of finite fields using unions of cyclotomic classes of order $N=2p_1^m$,…

First we give an overview of the known supplementary difference sets (SDS) (A_i), i=1..4, with parameters (n;k_i;d), where k_i=|A_i| and each A_i is either symmetric or skew and k_1 + ... + k_4 = n + d. Five new Williamson matrices over the…

In this paper we investigate the structure of the critical groups of doubly regular tournaments (DRTs) associated with skew Hadamard difference families (SDFs) with one, two, or four blocks. Brown and Reid found the existence of a skew…

In this paper, we generalize classical constructions of skew Hadamard difference families with two or four blocks in the additive groups of finite fields given by Szekeres (1969, 1971), Whiteman (1971) and Wallis-Whiteman (1972). In…

Hadamard matrices of order $n$ are conjectured to exist whenever $n$ is $1$, $2$, or a multiple of $4$; a similar conjecture exists for skew Hadamard matrices. We provide constructions covering orders $\le 1208$ of all known Hadamard and…

There are exactly 35 inequivalent (36, 15, 6) difference sets in nine groups. Eight of the nine groups have a normal Sylow 3-subgroup. We give a straightforward spread construction which explains the 32 inequivalent difference sets in these…

Two skew Hadamard matrices are considered {\sf SH}-equivalent if they are similar by a signed permutation matrix. This paper determines the number of {\sf SH}-inequivalent skew Hadamard matrices of order $36$ for some types. We also study…

We construct several cyclic $(v;k_1,k_2,k_3;\lambda)$ difference families with $v\equiv3 \pmod{4}$ a prime and $\lambda=k_1+k_2+k_3-(3v-1)/4$. Such families can be used in conjunction with the well-known Paley-Todd difference sets to…

We construct Hadamard matrices of orders 4x251 = 1004 and 4x631 = 2524, and skew-Hadamard matrices of orders 4x213 = 852 and 4x631 = 2524. As far as we know, such matrices have not been constructed previously. The constructions use the…

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…

We construct new symmetric Hadamard matrices of orders $92,116$, and $172$. While the existence of those of order $92$ was known since 1978, the orders $116$ and $172$ are new. Our construction is based on a recent new combinatorial array…

Let $S(x)$ be the number of $n \leq x$ for which a Hadamard matrix of order $n$ exists. Hadamard's conjecture states that $S(x)$ is about $x/4$. From Paley's constructions of Hadamard matrices, we have that \[ S(x) = \Omega(x/\log x). \] In…

In this paper, we give a construction of strongly regular Cayley graphs and a construction of skew Hadamard difference sets. Both constructions are based on choosing cyclotomic classes in finite fields, and they generalize the constructions…

This paper introduces and investigates a novel class of skew-regular Quaternary Hadamard matrices. For every odd prime power $p$, we establish the existence of these matrices for all orders $1+p^2$, each characterized by a constant row sum…

We describe a construction of three-dimensional Hadamard matrices of even order $v$ such that $v-1$ is a prime power. The construction covers infinitely many orders for which the existence was previously open.

It has been well-observed that an inequality of the type $\pi(x;q,a) > \pi(x;q,b)$ is more likely to hold if $a$ is a non-square modulo $q$ and $b$ is a square modulo $q$ (the so-called ``Chebyshev Bias''). For instance, each of…
