Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this research project is to build a theory for generating new Hadamard matrices by generalizing known geometric constructions of Hadamard matrices using two-intersection sets in finite projective spaces and by giving new constructions of Hadamard matrices based strongly regular graphs and association schemes. In this research, we found new methods to construct geometric objects using actions of finite groups and power residues of finite fields and gave new characterizations for Gauss sums and Gauss periods to compute hyperplane sections. In particular, we succeeded to find families of new Hadamard matrices. Furthermore, we proposed new constructions of strongly regular graphs and association schemes related to Hadamard matrices. Thus, we developed the existence theory of Hadamard matrices and related combinatorial objects.
