Every symplectic spread of PG(3,q), or equivalently every ovoid of Q(4,q), is shown to give rise to a certain family of permutation polynomials of GF(q) and conversely. This leads to an algebraic proof of the existence of the Tits-Luneburg…

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 $N=2p_1^m$,…

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…

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…

Recently, Feng and Xiang \cite{FX113} found a new construction of skew Hadamard difference sets in elementary abelian groups. In this paper, we introduce a new invariant for equivalence of skew Hadamard difference sets, namely triple…

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…

A skew Hadamard difference set (SHDS) is a difference set that satisfies the skew condition. It is known that if a group G admits a skew hadamard difference set, then G is a p-group with order congruent to 3 modulo 4. We will generalize…

If $D$ is a $(4u^2,2u^2-u,u^2-u)$ Hadamard difference set (HDS) in $G$, then $\{G,G\setminus D\}$ is clearly a $(4u^2,[2u^2-u,2u^2+u],2u^2)$ partitioned difference family (PDF). Any $(v,K,\lambda)$-PDF will be said of Hadamard-type if…

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

Let $q$ be a prime power of the form $q=12c^2+4c+3$ with $c$ an arbitrary integer. In this paper we construct a difference family with parameters $(2q^2;q^2,q^2,q^2,q^2-1;2q^2-2)$ in ${\mathbb Z}_2\times ({\mathbb F}_{q^2},+)$. As a…

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…

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 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 give a new construction of difference families generalizing Szekeres's difference families \cite{Sze}. As an immediate consequence, we obtain some new examples of difference families with several blocks in multiplicative subgroups of…

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 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…

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…

We single out a class of difference families which is widely used in some constructions of Hadamard matrices and which we call Goethals--Seidel (GS) difference families. They consist of four subsets (base blocks) of a finite abelian group…

A $(G,[k_1,\dots,k_t],\lambda)$ {\it partitioned difference family} (PDF) is a partition $\cal B$ of an additive group $G$ into sets ({\it blocks}) of sizes $k_1$, \dots, $k_t$, such that the list of differences of ${\cal B}$ covers exactly…

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…
