Difference sets with few character values

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The known families of difference sets can be subdivided into three classes: difference sets with Singer parameters, cyclotomic difference sets, and difference sets with gcd(v,n)>1. It is remarkable that all the known difference sets with gcd(v,n)>1 have the so-called character divisibility property. In 1997, Jungnickel and Schmidt posed the problem of constructing difference sets with gcd(v,n)>1 that do not satisfy this property. In an attempt to attack this problem, we use difference sets with three nontrivial character values as candidates, and get some necessary conditions.
