Inequivalence of skew Hadamard difference sets and triple intersection numbers modulo a prime (Q396966): Difference between revisions

Summary: Recently, \textit{T. Feng} and \textit{Q. Xiang} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 119, No. 1, 245--256 (2012; Zbl 1232.05031)] found a new construction of skew Hadamard difference sets in elementary abelian groups. In this paper, we introduce a new invariant for equivalence of skew Hadamard difference sets, namely triple intersection numbers modulo a prime, and discuss inequivalence between Feng-Xiang skew Hadamard difference sets and the Paley difference sets. As a consequence, we show that their construction produces infinitely many skew Hadamard difference sets inequivalent to the Paley difference sets.
