Inequivalence of Difference Sets: On a Remark of Baumert
نویسنده
چکیده
An often cited statement of Baumert in his book Cyclic difference sets asserts that four well known families of cyclic (4t − 1, 2t − 1, t − 1) difference sets are inequivalent, apart from a small number of exceptions with t 6 8. We are not aware of a proof of this statement in the literature. Three of the families discussed by Baumert have analogous constructions in noncyclic groups. We extend his inequivalence statement to a general inequivalence result, for which we provide a complete and self-contained proof. We preface our proof with a survey of the four families of difference sets, since there seems to be some confusion in the literature between the cyclic and non-cyclic cases. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05B20

Inequivalence of Skew Hadamard Difference Sets and Triple Intersection Numbers Modulo a Prime
Recently, Feng and Xiang [10] 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 intersection numbers modulo a prime, and discuss inequivalence between Feng-Xiang skew Hadamard difference sets and the Paley difference sets. As a consequence, we show th...
متن کاملOn the existence of cyclic difference sets with small parameters
Previous surveys by Baumert [3] and Lopez and Sanchez [12] have resolved the existence of cyclic (v, k, λ) difference sets with k ≤ 150, except for six open cases. In this paper we show that four of those difference sets do not exist. We also look at the existence of difference sets with k ≤ 300, and cyclic Hadamard difference sets with v ≤ 10,000. Finally, we extend [6] to show that no cyclic ...
متن کاملA remark on boundedness of composition operators between weighted spaces of holomorphic functions on the upper half-plane
In this paper, we obtain a sucient condition for boundedness of composition operators betweenweighted spaces of holomorphic functions on the upper half-plane whenever our weights are standardanalytic weights, but they don't necessarily satisfy any growth condition.
متن کاملA remark on the means of the number of divisors
We obtain the asymptotic expansion of the sequence with general term $frac{A_n}{G_n}$, where $A_n$ and $G_n$ are the arithmetic and geometric means of the numbers $d(1),d(2),dots,d(n)$, with $d(n)$ denoting the number of positive divisors of $n$. Also, we obtain some explicit bounds concerning $G_n$ and $frac{A_n}{G_n}$.
