Complex equiangular tight frames and erasures (Q426041)

The authors extent certain results on real equiangular tight frames (ETFs) to complex ETFs. They demonstrate that there are distinct differences between real and complex ETFs. For example, the real 3-uniform frames correspond precisely to the so-called trivial real ETFs. However, there exist arbitrarily large non-trivial complex 3-uniform frames, and such frames come from a unique class of complex ETFs. Consequently, there exist complex ETFs which are optimal against three erasures.
