Existence conjecture for type 2 cyclic Legendre difference families

At least 5 years old · documented by

Let (X,Y)(X,Y) be a Legendre difference family in the cyclic group Zv{\mathbb Z}_v. It is of type 22 when neither block is a difference set; equivalently, if one block is a difference set then both are, and the family is of type 11.

Type 2 existence conjecture. Legendre difference families of type 22 exist for all odd lengths v>8v>8.

This is presented as a stronger version of the conjecture that cyclic Legendre difference families exist for every odd length v>2v>2. The constructions in the paper concern new lengths 9191, 9393, and 123123, while the asserted all-length type 22 existence remains open.
