Linking systems in nonelementary abelian groups

چکیده
Linked systems of symmetric designs are equivalent to 3-class Q-antipodal association schemes. Only one infinite family of examples is known, and this family has interesting origins and is connected to important applications. In this paper, we define linking systems, collections of difference sets that correspond to systems of linked designs, and we construct linking systems in a variety of nonelementary abelian groups using Galois rings, partial difference sets, and a product construction. We include some partial results in the final section.

Generalizations of Partial Difference Sets from Cyclotomy to Nonelementary Abelian p-Groups
A partial difference set having parameters (n2, r(n − 1), n + r2 − 3r, r2 − r) is called a Latin square type partial difference set, while a partial difference set having parameters (n2, r(n + 1),−n + r2 + 3r, r2 + r) is called a negative Latin square type partial difference set. In this paper, we generalize well-known negative Latin square type partial difference sets derived from the theory o...
متن کاملNew negative Latin square type partial difference sets in nonelementary abelian 2-groups and 3-groups
A partial difference set having parameters (n2, r(n− 1), n+ r2 − 3r, r2 − r) is called a Latin square type partial difference set, while a partial difference set having parameters (n2, r(n+1),−n+r2+3r, r2+r) is called a negative Latin square type partial difference set. Nearly all known constructions of negative Latin square partial difference sets are in elementary abelian groups. In this pape...
متن کاملUniform Growth in Groups of Exponential Growth
This is an exposition of examples and classes of finitely-generated groups which have uniform exponential growth. The main examples are non-Abelian free groups, semi-direct products of free Abelian groups with automorphisms having an eigenvalue of modulus distinct from 1, and Golod–Shafarevich infinite finitely-generated p-groups. The classes include groups which virtually have non-Abelian free...
متن کاملNegative Latin Square Type Partial Difference Sets in Nonelementary Abelian 2-groups
Combining results on quadrics in projective geometries with an algebraic interplay between finite fields and Galois rings, we construct the first known family of partial difference sets with negative Latin square type parameters in nonelementary abelian groups, the groups Z 4 × Z4`−4k 2 for all k when ` is odd and for all k < ` when ` is even. Similarly, we construct partial difference sets wit...
متن کاملDilations for $C^ast$-dynamical systems with abelian groups on Hilbert $C^ast$-modules
In this paper we investigate the dilations of completely positive definite representations of (C^ast)-dynamical systems with abelian groups on Hilbert (C^ast)-modules. We show that if ((mathcal{A}, G,alpha)) is a (C^ast)-dynamical system with (G) an abelian group, then every completely positive definite covariant representation ((pi,varphi,E)) of ((mathcal{A}, G,alpha)) on a Hilbert ...
