Schur Ring over Group ${\mathbb{Z}}_2^n$, Circulant $S-$Sets Invariant by Decimation and Hadamard Matrices

Abstract

In this paper a variety of issues are discussed, Schur ring, $S$-sets, circulant orbits, decimation operator and Hadamard matrices and their relation between them is shown. Firstly we define the complete $S$-sets. Next, we study the structure of Schur ring with circulant basic sets over ${\mathbb{Z}}_2^n$ and we define the free and non-free circulant $S$-sets, the symmetric, non-symmetric and antisymmetric circulant $S$-sets. We prove that all this $S$-sets are invariants under decimation. Finally, we prove that if a Hadamard matrix exist then this is contained in a complete $S$-set. Also, we prove that can't exist circulant and with one core Hadamard matrices with some particular structure. These theorems include a result known on symmetric circulant Hadamard matrices of order $4n$ only when $n$ is an odd number.
