Monomial groups and combinatorial matrices
Thursday 11 September 2025, 15:15, M3 (M234)
D. G. Higman observed that the centraliser algebra of a rank 3 permutation group is spanned by the incidence matrix of a strongly regular graph on which the permutation group acts by automorphisms. Quite generally, incidence matrices of combinatorial structures invariant under a permutation group are contained in the centraliser algebra of the corresponding permutation representation.
In this talk, I will explain how monomial representations act on matrices of combinatorial interest with entries in a finite subset of $\mathbb{C}$. I will explain how central extensions, character sums and Gröbner basis techniques can be combined to classify complex Hadamard matrices with sufficiently rich automorphism groups. The talk will require knowledge only of elementary group theory and linear algebra. This is joint work with Santiago Barrera-Acevedo, Heiko Dietrich and Ronan Egan.
