Abstract

A trade in a complex Hadamard matrix is a set of entries which can be changed to obtain a different complex Hadamard matrix. We show that in a real Hadamard matrix of order n all trades contain at least n entries. We call a trade rectangular if it consists of a submatrix that can be multiplied by some scalar c ≠ 1 to obtain another complex Hadamard matrix. We give a characterisation of rectangular trades in complex Hadamard matrices of order n and show that they all contain at least n entries. We conjecture that all trades in complex Hadamard matrices contain at least n entries.
