Abstract

Linear codes over GF(5) are utilized for the construction of a reversible abelian Hadamard difference set in Z₂×Z₂×Z⁴₅. This is the first example of an abelian Hadamard difference set in a group of order divisible by a prime p≡1 (mod 4). Applying the Turyn composition theorem, one obtains abelian difference sets and Hadamard matrices of Williamson type of order 4×5⁴ⁿ×p⁴ⁿ¹1×…×p⁴ⁿ_tt where n, n1, …, n_tare arbitrary non-negative integers and each p_i is a prime, p_i≡3 (mod 4).
