One Method for Construction of Inverse Orthogonal Matrices ONE METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTION OF INVERSE ORTHOGONAL MATRICES, P. DIÞÃ National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, P.O. Box MG6, Bucharest, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Received September 16, 2008 An analytical procedure to obtain parametrisation of complex inverse orthogonal matrices starting from complex inverse orthogonal conference matrices is provided. These matrices, which depend on nonzero complex parameters, generalize the complex Hadamard matrices and have applications in spin models and digital signal processing. When the free complex parameters take values on the unit circle they transform into complex Hadamard matrices. 1. INTRODUCTION In a seminal paper [1] Sylvester defined a general class of orthogonal matrices named inverse orthogonal matrices and provided the first examples of what are nowadays called (complex) Hadamard matrices. A particular class of inverse orthogonal matrices Aa()ij are those matrices whose inverse is given 1 t by Aa(1ij ) (1 a ji ) , where t means transpose, and their entries aij satisfy the relation 1 AA nIn (1) where In is the n-dimensional unit matrix. When the entries aij take values on the unit circle A–1 coincides with the Hermitian conjugate A* of A, and in this case (1) is the definition of complex Hadamard matrices. Complex Hadamard matrices have applications in quantum information theory, several branches of combinatorics, digital signal processing, etc. Complex orthogonal matrices unexpectedly appeared in the description of topological invariants of knots and links, see e.g. Ref. [2]. They were called two- weight spin models being related to symmetric statistical Potts models. These matrices have been generalized to two-weight spin models, also called , Paper presented at the National Conference of Physics, September 10–13, 2008, Bucharest-Mãgurele, Romania. Rom. Journ. Phys., Vol. 54, Nos. 5–6, P. 433–440, Bucharest, 2009 434 P. Diþã 2 generalized spin models, by removing the symmetry condition [3]. After that these models have been extended to four-weight spin models, see [4]. These matrices are also known as type II matrices, W, with non-zero entries which satisfy the relations n W B ik nij…n 12 (2) W ij k1 jk see Ref. [5]. It is easily seen that the relations (1) and (2) are equivalent. In the case of spin models the above relation is supplemented with two other relations which take into account the star-triangle relations, which impose further constraints on pairs of W matrices. Particular cases of type II matrices also appeared as a generalized Hadamard transform for processing multiphase or multilevel signals, see [6] and [7], which includes the classical Fourier, Walsh- Hadamard and Reverse Jacket transforms. They are defined for 2n 2n-dimen- sional matrices and depend on a pth root of unity and/or one complex non-zero parameter. The aim of the paper is to provide an analytic method for the construction of inverse orthogonal matrices. It is well known, see [5], that a complete solution was given only for dimensions, n " 5, and here we give a few examples for dimensions n 8. 2. INVERSE ORTHOGONAL MATRICES Our method for construction of inverse orthogonal matrices uses as starting point an analog of the complex n n conference matrices Cn, which are matrices with aii = 0, i = 1, …, n and aij 1 ij that satisfy $ CCnn(1) n I n (3) $ where Cn is the Hermitian conjugate of Cn. Conference matrices Cn are important because by construction the matrix CSCICI $ H DTnnnn (4) 2n DT $ EUCICInn nn is a complex Hadamard matrix, as one can easily verify. To extend the above construction to complex orthogonal conference matrices we have to prescribe a recipe for a proper treating of the zero entries on the main diagonal. Thus the complex inverse orthogonal conference matrices are defined by a similar relation to the relation (3), with aij, ij, complex non-zero numbers, and aii = 0. Our formula for the inverse is given by 3 Method for construction of inverse orthogonal matrices 435 1 t CCII(1 (nn ) n ) (5) where 1/ A is the matrix whose elements are 1aij . We remark that the above relation makes sense since all the entries of Cn + In are complex non-null numbers. In fact one can generalize the above inverse for an arbitrary complex matrix, M, with arbitrary located zeros, the entries of the inverse matrix M–1 being given by I1for0MM 1 J ji ij Mij (6) K 0for0Mij In the case of complex orthogonal matrices the formula (4) takes the form CSCICI 1 O DTnnnn (7) 2n DT 1 EUCICInn nn To see how the method works we start with the simplest example, i.e. we consider the case n = 2, when the orthogonal conference matrix has the form CS0 a C DT (8) n EUa 0 with a+C$ an arbitrary non-zero number. According to (5), or (6), the inverse is given by CS01a C 1 DT (9) n EU10a 1 and one simply verifies that CC22 I 2. By using the relation (4) one gets a complex inverse orthogonal matrix which depends on a single complex parameter, a. CS111aa DT DTaa11 1 D (10) 4 DT 111aa DT EUaa 11 1 Multiplying at right and at left by the diagonal matrices da 11,1 and 1 a d 11,11 generated by the inverse of the first row, respectively the first 2 aa column, one finds, modulo a transposition, the jacket form of D4 as 436 P. Diþã 4 CS11 1 1 DT DT11bb d (11) 4 DT11 bb DT EU1111 where ba1.2 Jacket matrices have entries on the first row and column equal to 1, and on the last row and column 1. When be it with i2 1 and t a real number one finds a matrix which depends on a continuous parameter, t +R, matrix that was found by Hadamard, [8]. Since there are no inverse complex orthogonal conference matrices for n = 3, we consider the case n = 4 and start with CS0111 DT DT10 aa C (12) 4 DT10aa DT EU10 aa where a 0 is an arbitrary complex number. It was obtained from the complex conference matrix given in [9], by changing the phase into the complex number a. To see what is the general procedure for obtaining inverse orthogonal matrices we multiply (12) at right and respectively at left by the diagonal matrices d1 = (a1, a2, a3, a4) and d2 = (1, b1, b2, b3), where ai and bi are non-zero complex numbers to obtain a more general form of matrix C4. By using formula (7) one gets CS11111aaa21134 ababab 1213 DT DTab1111111 aab 31 aab41 a 2 aab 2 2 aab 23 DTab aab11111 aab a aab ab DT1222 42 3 31 33 DTab aab aab11 a 1 aab 1 aab 1 O 1323 33 4 41 42 (13) 8 DT 11111aaa ababab DT21134 1213 DTab111111 aab 31 aab41 a 2 aab22 1 aab23 DT DTab12 aab2211111 aab 42 a 3 aab 31 ab 33 DT EUa13 b aa23 b aa 33 b11 a 4 1 aa 41 b 1 aa 42 b 1 Multiplying O8 at right and, respectively, at left by diagonal matrices generated by the inverse of the first row, respectively, of the first column, one finds after the substitution awaxbaybazb121324311 1 (14) 5 Method for construction of inverse orthogonal matrices 437 the final form of the matrix O8, up to a few permutations necessary to put it in a more symmetric form CS11111111 DT DT11wx aw x a aw wx x a DT11aw y a aw wy wy y a DT DT11 aw z a wz z a aw wz D (15) 8 DT11 aw z a wz z a aw wz DT DT11 wx aw x a aw wx x a DT DT11aw y a aw wy wy y a DT EU11 1 1 1 1 1 1 matrix which depends on five complex arbitrary non-zero parameters. When a, w, x, y, z take values on the 5-dimensional torus T5, i.e. values on the unit circle, D8 gets a complex Hadamard matrix. If in (15) one makes the identification x = y = a one finds, in the terminology used in [7], a jacket matrix which depends on three arbitrary non-zero parameters CS11111111 DT DT111aw aw aw aw 1 DT11aw aw 1 aw aw 1 DT DT11 aw z a wz z a aw wz d (16) 8 DT11 aw z a wz z a aw wz DT DT11 aw aw 1 aw aw 1 DT DT11aw aw 1 aw aw 1 DT EU11111111 The matrix d8 is the generalization of the jacket matrix K4(i) from [7] which depends only on 1 and i.

  • A Finiteness Result for Circulant Core Complex Hadamard Matrices
    A FINITENESS RESULT FOR CIRCULANT CORE COMPLEX HADAMARD MATRICES REMUS NICOARA AND CHASE WORLEY UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE, KNOXVILLE Abstract. We show that for every prime number p there exist finitely many circulant core complex Hadamard matrices of size p ` 1. The proof uses a 'derivative at infinity' argument to reduce the problem to Tao's uncertainty principle for cyclic groups of prime order (see [Tao]). 1. Introduction A complex Hadamard matrix is a matrix H P MnpCq having all entries of absolute value 1 and all rows ?1 mutually orthogonal. Equivalently, n H is a unitary matrix with all entries of the same absolute value. For ij 2πi{n example, the Fourier matrix Fn “ p! q1¤i;j¤n, ! “ e , is a Hadamard matrix. In the recent years, complex Hadamard matrices have found applications in various topics of mathematics and physics, such as quantum information theory, error correcting codes, cyclic n-roots, spectral sets and Fuglede's conjecture. A general classification of real or complex Hadamard matrices is not available. A catalogue of most known complex Hadamard matrices can be found in [TaZy]. The complete classification is known for n ¤ 5 ([Ha1]) and for self-adjoint matrices of order 6 ([BeN]). Hadamard matrices arise in operator algebras as construction data for hyperfinite subfactors. A unitary ?1 matrix U is of the form n H, H Hadamard matrix, if and only if the algebra of n ˆ n diagonal matrices Dn ˚ is orthogonal onto UDnU , with respect to the inner product given by the trace on MnpCq. Equivalently, the square of inclusions: Dn Ă MnpCq CpHq “ ¨ YY ; τ˛ ˚ ˚ ‹ ˚ C Ă UDnU ‹ ˚ ‹ ˝ ‚ is a commuting square, in the sense of [Po1],[Po2], [JS].

They are often represented as the columns of a short, fat matrix. In certain applications we want this matrix to be flat, that is, have the property that all of its entries have modulus one. In particular, real flat ETFs are equivalent to self-complementary binary codes that achieve the Grey-Rankin bound. Some flat ETFs are (complex) Hadamard ETFs, meaning they arise by extracting rows from a (complex) Hadamard matrix.

  • The 2-Transitive Complex Hadamard Matrices
    undergoing revision for Designs, Codes and Cryptography 1 January, 2001 The 2-Transitive Complex Hadamard Matrices G. Eric Moorhouse Dept. of Mathematics, University of Wyoming, Laramie WY, U.S.A. Abstract. We determine all possibilities for a complex Hadamard ma- trix H admitting an automorphism group which permutes 2-transitively the rows of H. Our proof of this result relies on the classification theo- rem for finite 2-transitive permutation groups, and thereby also on the classification of finite simple groups. Keywords. complex Hadamard matrix, 2-transitive, distance regular graph, cover of complete bipartite graph 1. Introduction Let H be a complex Hadamard matrix of order v, i.e. a v × v matrix whose entries are com- plex roots of unity, satisfying HH∗ = vI,where∗ denotes conjugate-transpose. Butson’s original definition in [3] considered as entries only p-th roots of unity for some prime p, while others [42], [32], [8] have considered ±1, ±i as entries. These are generalisations of the (ordinary) Hadamard matrices (having entries ±1); other generalisations with group entries are described in Section 2. 1.1 Example.

  • On Quaternary Complex Hadamard Matrices of Small Orders
    Advances in Mathematics of Communications doi:10.3934/amc.2011.5.309 Volume 5, No. 2, 2011, 309{315 ON QUATERNARY COMPLEX HADAMARD MATRICES OF SMALL ORDERS Ferenc Szoll¨ osi} Department of Mathematics and its Applications Central European University H-1051, N´adoru. 9, Budapest, Hungary (Communicated by Gilles Z´emor) Abstract. One of the main goals of design theory is to classify, character- ize and count various combinatorial objects with some prescribed properties. In most cases, however, one quickly encounters a combinatorial explosion and even if the complete enumeration of the objects is possible, there is no ap- parent way how to study them in details, store them efficiently, or generate a particular one rapidly. In this paper we propose a novel method to deal with these difficulties, and illustrate it by presenting the classification of quaternary complex Hadamard matrices up to order 8. The obtained matrices are mem- bers of only a handful of parametric families, and each inequivalent matrix, up to transposition, can be identified through its fingerprint. 1. Introduction A complex Hadamard matrix H of order n is an n × n matrix with unimodular entries satisfying HH∗ = nI where ∗ is the conjugate transpose and I is the iden- tity matrix of order n. In other words, any two distinct rows (or columns) of H are complex orthogonal. Complex Hadamard matrices have important applications in quantum optics, high-energy physics [1], operator theory [16] and in harmonic analysis [12], [20]. They also play a crucial r^olein quantum information theory, for construction of teleportation and dense coding schemes [21], and they are strongly related to mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) [8].

Lattices from tight equiangular frames Albrecht B¨ottcher, Lenny Fukshansky, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Hiren Maharaj, Deanna Needell Abstract. We consider the set of all linear combinations with integer coefficients of the vectors of a unit tight equiangular (k, n) frame and are interested in the question whether this set is a lattice, that is, a discrete additive subgroup of the k-dimensional Euclidean space. We show that this is not the case if the cosine of the angle of the frame is irrational. We also prove that the set is a lattice for n = k + 1 and that there are infinitely many k such that a lattice emerges for n = 2k. We dispose of all cases in dimensions k at most 9. In particular, we show that a (7,28) frame generates a strongly eutactic lattice and give an alternative proof of Roland Bacher’s recent observation that this lattice is perfect.

  • Almost Hadamard Matrices with Complex Entries
    Adv. Oper. Theory 3 (2018), no. 1, 137–177 http://doi.org/10.22034/aot.1702-1114 ISSN: 2538-225X (electronic) http://aot-math.org ALMOST HADAMARD MATRICES WITH COMPLEX ENTRIES TEODOR BANICA,1∗ and ION NECHITA2 Dedicated to the memory of Uffe Haagerup Communicated by N. Spronk Abstract. We discuss an extension of the almost Hadamard matrix formal- ism, to the case of complex matrices. Quite surprisingly, the situation here is very different from the one in the real case, and our conjectural conclusion is that there should be no such matrices, besides the usual Hadamard ones. We verify this conjecture in a number of situations, and notably for most of the known examples of real almost Hadamard matrices, and for some of their complex extensions. We discuss as well some potential applications of our conjecture, to the general study of complex Hadamard matrices. Introduction An Hadamard matrix is a square matrix H ∈ MN (±1), whose rows are pairwise orthogonal. Here is a basic example, which appears as a version of the 4×4 Walsh matrix, and is also well-known for its use in the Grover algorithm: −1 1 1 1 1 −1 1 1 K4 = 1 1 −1 1 1 1 1 −1 Assuming that the matrix has N ≥ 3 rows, the orthogonality conditions be- tween the rows give N ∈ 4N. A similar analysis with four or more rows, or any Copyright 2016 by the Tusi Mathematical Research Group.
