Abstract

Motivated by Eliahou's 64-modular Hadamard construction at the smallest open Hadamard order n=668, we introduce an explicit half-flip family of 32-modular Hadamard matrices at orders n=4L for L = 3 (mod 8). A master identity reduces the four-sequence Golay-quadruple condition under the half-flip ansatz (s, s*, sq, (sq)*) to a single-sequence type-restricted autocorrelation c_k^tau(s). The construction yields a closed-form expression for c_k^tau, a true Hadamard matrix at L=11, and 32-modular matrices at every L = 3 (mod 8), including the open orders n=716 and n=1132. Existence of 32-modular at L = 3 (mod 4) is due to Eliahou-Kervaire (2001); Eliahou's 2026 follow-up in J. Algebraic Combin. gives 64-modular matrices at L = 3 (mod 16) and L = 7 (mod 32) via the same ansatz and correlation identity we call the master identity, subsuming our construction on that residue subclass. Our contribution is therefore primarily structural. Applying Barrera Acevedo-O Cathain-Dietrich (2019) and Alvarez et al. (2020), the family is non-cocyclic over any group at every prime L in {11, 19, 59} in the YES set, yet pseudococyclic over the Goethals-Seidel Moufang loop GS_{4L} at every L. A half-flip H-set decomposition theorem parameterizes the symmetric difference of any two family elements by a single sequence flip set, giving the family the structure of a length-L Hamming cube. A symbolic mod-tower verifier (mod-8 is F_2-linear) classifies true Hadamards in the family through k=14 (L <= 115): the YES set is empirically bounded by k=7, refuting four H4 predictions and excluding L in {179, 283} within the ansatz. A Grobner basis at L=11 exhibits a previously unrecorded even-T0-block linear identity. All code and JSON certificates: github.com/michelkulhandjian/hadamard-halfflip-structural

On nut graphs with two vertex and three edge orbits

Nut graphs are graphs whose adjacency matrix is singular with one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector with no zero entries. In a recent paper, Bašić, Fowler and Pisanski proved that the automorphism group of a nut graph has more orbits on the edge set than on the vertex set. They classified all orders for which a vertex-transitive nut graph with precisely two edge orbits exists, and conjectured that a nut graph with two vertex and three edge orbits exists for each non-prime order $n \ge 9$. Motivated by this conjecture, we introduce a very general construction that provides graphs with the desired symmetry properties, and we determine some sufficient spectral and structural conditions under which they are nut graphs. The construction yields infinite families of examples and confirms the above conjecture for all odd non-prime orders up to $2\,500$ and for at least $99.8$ percent of all odd non-prime orders up to a million. Finally, we present some additional interesting examples of nut graphs with two vertex and three edge orbits that do not arise from this construction.

On vertex-minimal simplicial maps to the sphere

For positive integers $n,d$, let $λ(n,d)$ be the minimal number of vertices of a triangulation of the $n$-sphere which admits a degree $d$ simplicial map onto the boundary of the $(n+1)$-simplex. We show that for $h=\lfloor\frac{n+1}2\rfloor$, the function $λ(n,d)^h$ has linear order of growth in $d$, answering a question of O. Musin. All triangulations we obtained are isomorphic to boundaries of convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.
