Abstract

We classify all the cocyclic Butson Hadamard matrices BH(n, p) of order n over the pth roots of unity for an odd prime p and n p ≤ 100. That is, we compile a list of matrices such that any cocyclic BH(n, p) for these n, p is equivalent to exactly one element in the list. Our approach encompasses non-existence results and computational machinery for Butson and generalized Hadamard matrices that are of independent interest.

This paper is in final form and no similar paper has been or is being submitted elsewhere.
