Finiteness conjecture for circulant complex Hadamard matrices

Let Cncirc()C_n^{\operatorname{circ}}(\infty) denote the set of circulant complex Hadamard matrices of order nn, with no fixed bound on the orders of their root-of-unity entries, and let Cncirc,1()C_n^{\operatorname{circ},1}(\infty) be the subset with 11 on the diagonal. Finiteness conjecture for circulant complex Hadamard matrices. The set Cncirc()C_n^{\operatorname{circ}}(\infty) is finite if and only if

n=p1pk,n=p_1\cdots p_k,

with pip_i distinct primes. In addition, in this case, there should be an explicit bound of the form

#Cncirc,1()4n.\# C_n^{\operatorname{circ},1}(\infty)\leq 4^n.

Earlier results give infinite families when a divisor condition holds and an upper bound for prime order, motivating the proposed characterization of exactly when finiteness occurs; the stated bound remains conjectural.
