Abelian and Dihedral equiangular tight frames of redundancy $2$

This paper studies group frames ($G$-frames) where the unitary group representation can be projective. When the group is abelian, for most combinations $N, n$, we show that $ETF(N,n)$ can only exist for genuinely projective group representations. In particular, cyclic-group frames for such parameters do not exist. We also give a characterization of all dihedral tight frames and dihedral $ETF(2n,n)$, using which, we conclude that regular dihedral $ETF(2n,n)$ must be genuinely projective. Following that, we give a characterization of regular dihedral $ETF(2n,n)$ in terms of certain structured skew Hadamard matrices. We then show that Paley $ETF(2n,n)$ and its doubling are both of this type. Finally, we classify all regular dihedral $ETF(2n,n)$ for $n\le 22$ up to switching equivalence.

Phase transitions for frame potentials]{Phase transitions for the minimizers of the $p^{th}$ frame potentials in $\mathbb{R}^2$

Given $N$ points $X=\{x_k\}_{k=1}^N$ on the unit circle in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and a number $0\leq p \leq \infty$ we investigate the minimizers of the functional $\sum_{k, \ell =1}^N |\langle x_k, x_\ell\rangle|^p$. While it is known that each of these minimizers is a spanning set for $\mathbb{R}^2$, less is known about their number as a function of $p$ and $N$ especially for relatively small $p$. In this paper we show that there is unique minimum for this functional for all $p\leq \log 3/\log 2$ and all odd $N\geq 3$. In addition, we present some numerical results suggesting the emergence of a phase transition phenomenon for these minimizers. More specifically, for $N\geq 3$ odd, there exists a sequence of number of points $\log 3/\log 2=p_1< p_2< \cdots < p_N\leq 2$ so that a unique (up to some isometries) minimizer exists on each sub-intervals $(p_k, p_{k+1})$. %In addition we conjecture that $\lim_{k\to \infty}p_{2k+1}=2$.

Energy Minimization in $CP^n$: Some Numerical and Analytical Results

We study the problem of minimizing the energy function $M^p(m,n) := \min \sum_{1\le i 0$ are integers and $p$ is even. This problem has implications on finding nice polyhedra in projective spaces, and on quantum random access codes. We conduct experimental search in the complex case which suggests nice patterns on the minimum values. In some cases($p=2$ and partially $n=2$) we supply analytical proofs and give full descriptions of the minimal configurations. We also show that as $m\to \infty$, nearly equidistributed configurations points nearly give the minimal values we expect from our patterns.
