Rational-span conjecture for tangent spaces of regular Hadamard matrices

Let HMN(C)H\in M_N(\mathbb C) be a regular Hadamard matrix, and let T~HCN\widetilde{T}_H C_N denote the associated vector space of matrices. Write [T~HCN]Q[\widetilde{T}_H C_N]_{\mathbb Q} for the subset consisting of matrices AT~HCNA\in\widetilde{T}_H C_N having rational entries.

Rational-span conjecture. One has

T~HCN=C[T~HCN]Q.\widetilde{T}_H C_N=\mathbb C\cdot[\widetilde{T}_H C_N]_{\mathbb Q}.

The claim is known to hold for Fourier matrices; the conjecture is that it holds for every regular Hadamard matrix, with regularity understood in the sense used in the cited reference.
