Constructions of semi-regular relative difference sets

From MaRDI portal





Two previous constructions of relative difference sets are similar and can be (partially) unified and generalized also obtaining new relative difference sets. Suppose that \(p=2\) or \(p=2^a-1\) is a Mersenne prime. The new construction gives a \(((p+1)p^{2n},p+1,(p+1)p^{2n},p^{2n})\)-relative difference set in a group \(K\times H\) where \(K\) is the direct product of two copies of the additive group of a (suitable) local principal ideal ring \(R\), \(H\) is an abelian (suitable) \(2\)- or \(3\)-group and \(U\subseteq H\) is an abelian elementary group. A part of the proof is inductive but the authors also give a more explicit description of the obtained situation and some useful examples.
