Pairwise inequivalence conjecture for seven Dickson-polynomial skew Hadamard difference sets

About 20 years old · traced to

Let mm be an odd integer with m>7m>7 and m≢0(mod3)m\not\equiv 0 \pmod{3}. In the additive group (F3m,+)({\mathbb F}_{3^m},+), let P{\rm P}, DY(1){\rm DY}(1), DY(−1){\rm DY}(-1), RT(1){\rm RT}(1), RT(−1){\rm RT}(-1), D1D_1, and D−1D_{-1} denote the seven skew Hadamard difference sets constructed in the paper. Pairwise inequivalence conjecture. These seven skew Hadamard difference sets are pairwise inequivalent. For m=5m=5 and m=7m=7, the paper verifies pairwise inequivalence using the distributions, or the extrema, of their triple intersection numbers; the conjecture extends this distinction to all odd m>7m>7 not divisible by 33.
