The main results of this paper are explicit constructions of complete sets of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in the Hilbert space \({\mathbb C}^n\) (including new explicit constructions of complete sets of MUBs using a new notion of pseudo-planar functions over fields of characteristic \(2\)) and of orthogonal decompositions of special Lie algebras \(sl_n({\mathbb C})\), obtained from commutative and symplectic semifields, and from some non-semifield symplectic spreads. The other concern of the paper is with connections between various different constructions of MUBs. ``Starting from a commutative presemifield one can construct consecutively (pseudo-)planar functions and then MUBs. On the other hand, one can start from a commutative presemifield and then construct consecutively symplectic presemifield, symplectic spread, orthogonal decomposition of Lie algebra and finally MUBs.''
