Existence conjecture for symmetric [α][\alpha]-Hadamard matrices

About 3 years old · traced to

A symmetric [α][\alpha]-Hadamard matrix of order ζ\zeta is a square ζ×ζ\zeta\times\zeta matrix with entries in {1,−1}\{1,-1\} that is symmetric and whose distinct-row inner products have absolute value at most α\alpha. Since ordinary Hadamard matrices are known not to exist in orders not divisible by 44, the paper introduces these generalized matrices.

Existence conjecture for symmetric [α][\alpha]-Hadamard matrices. For every α≥3\alpha\geq 3, there exist symmetric [α][\alpha]-Hadamard matrices of all orders.

If true, this would extend the constructions based on Hadamard matrices to every order and would make the paper's multipartite Ramsey-number results applicable for all orders ζ\zeta.
