Analytic aspects of the circulant Hadamard conjecture

Teodor Banica, Ion Nechita, Jean-Marc Schlenker (2014)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

We investigate the problem of counting the real or complex Hadamard matrices which are circulant, by using analytic methods. Our main observation is the fact that for | q 0 | = ... = | q N - 1 | = 1 the quantity Φ = i + k = j + l q i q k q j q l satisfies Φ N 2 , with equality if and only if q = ( q i ) is the eigenvalue vector of a rescaled circulant complex Hadamard matrix. This suggests three analytic problems, namely: (1) the brute-force minimization of Φ , (2) the study of the critical points of Φ , and (3) the computation of the moments of Φ . We explore here these questions,...

Antiflexible Latin directed triple systems

Andrew R. Kozlik (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

It is well known that given a Steiner triple system one can define a quasigroup operation · upon its base set by assigning x · x = x for all x and x · y = z , where z is the third point in the block containing the pair { x , y } . The same can be done for Mendelsohn triple systems, where ( x , y ) is considered to be ordered. But this is not necessarily the case for directed triple systems. However there do exist directed triple systems, which induce a quasigroup under this operation and these are called Latin directed triple systems....
