The one-circulant-core Hadamard matrix conjecture

About 8 years old · traced to

Let pp be a positive integer. A Hadamard matrix with one circulant core of order p+1p+1 has block form (1eetXC)\left(\begin{smallmatrix}1&e\\e^{t}&X_C\end{smallmatrix}\right), where e=(1,1,…,1)e=(1,1,\ldots,1) has dimension pp and XCX_C is a circulant matrix of order pp. Such a matrix can be constructed when one of the listed sufficient conditions holds: p≡3(mod4)p\equiv3\pmod 4 is prime; p=q(q+2)p=q(q+2) with q,q+2q,q+2 prime; p=2t−1p=2^t-1; or p=4x2+27p=4x^2+27 with pp prime. The one-circulant-core Hadamard matrix conjecture. If a Hadamard matrix with one circulant core of order p+1p+1 exists, then pp satisfies one of those four conditions. The claim proposes that the known sufficient constructions exhaust the possible parameters, but the source gives no resolution.
