Factoring (16, 6, 2) Hadamard Difference Sets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a “factoring” method which constructs all twenty-seven Hadamard (16, 6, 2) difference sets. The method involves identifying perfect ternary arrays of energy 4 (PTA(4)) in homomorphic images of a group G, studying the image of difference sets under such homomorphisms and using the preimages of the PTA(4)s to find the “factors” of difference sets in G. This “factoring” technique generalizes to other parameters, offering a general mechanism for creating Hadamard difference sets.

Paley type partial difference sets in non p-groups
By modifying a construction for Hadamard (Menon) difference sets we construct two infinite families of negative Latin square type partial difference sets in groups of the form Z3 × Zp where p is any odd prime. One of these families has the wellknown Paley parameters, which had previously only been constructed in p-groups. This provides new constructions of Hadamard matrices and implies the exis...
متن کاملSkew Hadamard difference sets from the Ree-Tits slice symplectic spreads in PG(3, 32h+1)
Using a class of permutation polynomials of F32h+1 obtained from the Ree–Tits slice symplectic spreads in PG(3,32h+1), we construct a family of skew Hadamard difference sets in the additive group of F32h+1 . With the help of a computer, we show that these skew Hadamard difference sets are new when h= 2 and h = 3. We conjecture that they are always new when h > 3. Furthermore, we present a varia...
متن کاملA family of skew Hadamard difference sets
In 1933 a family of skew Hadamard difference sets was described by Paley using matrix language and was called the Paley–Hadamard difference sets in the literature. During the last 70 years, no new skew Hadamard difference sets were found. It was conjectured that there are no further examples of skew Hadamard difference sets. This conjecture was proved to be true for the cyclic case in 1954, and...
متن کاملHadamard Difference Sets in Nonabelian 2-Groups with High Exponent
Nontrivial difference sets in groups of order a power of 2 are part of the family of difference sets called Hadamard difference sets. In the abelian case, a group of order 22 tq2 has a difference set if and only if the exponent of the group is less tq2 Ž than or equal to 2 . In a previous work R. A. Liebler and K. W. Smith, in ‘‘Coding Theory, Design Theory, Group Theory: Proc. of the Marshall ...
متن کاملInequivalence 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...
