2 Hadamard matrices and generalizations A (real) Hadamard matrix of order n is an n n matrix H with entries ±1, satisfying HH = ni. Conjecture Hadamard matrix of order n whenever n 0 (mod 4).

3 Hadamard matrices and generalizations A (real) Hadamard matrix of order n is an n n matrix H with entries ±1, satisfying HH = ni. Conjecture Hadamard matrix of order n whenever n 0 (mod 4). A complex Hadamard matrix of order n is an n n matrix H with entries in {ζ C ζ = 1}, satisfying HH = ni, where means the conjugate transpose.

4 Hadamard matrices and generalizations A (real) Hadamard matrix of order n is an n n matrix H with entries ±1, satisfying HH = ni. Conjecture Hadamard matrix of order n whenever n 0 (mod 4). A complex Hadamard matrix of order n is an n n matrix H with entries in {ζ C ζ = 1}, satisfying HH = ni, where means the conjugate transpose. We propose a strategy to construct infinite families of complex Hadamard matrices using association schemes, and demonstrate a successful case.

45 Theorem f : (C ) d+1 C d(d+1)/2, (α 0, α 1,..., α d ) ( α j + α j ) 0 i<j d The image of f coincides with the set of zeros of the ideal I in the polynomial ring C[X ij : 0 i < j d] generated by g(x ij, X ik, X jk ) h(x ij, X ik, X il, X jk, X jl, X kl ) where i, j, k, l are distinct, X ij = X ji, and g = X 2 + Y 2 + Z 2 XY Z 4, h = (Z 2 4)U Z(XW + Y V ) + 2(XY + V W ).
