Abstract: We investigate the problem of counting the real or complex Hadamard matrices which are circulant, by using analytic methods. Our main observation is the fact that for

| q_{0} | = ... = | q_{N - 1} | = 1

the quantity

P h i = s u m_{i + k = j + l} f r a c q_{i} q_{k} q_{j} q_{l}

satisfies

P h i g e q N^{2}

, with equality if and only if

q = (q_{i})

is the eigenvalue vector of a rescaled circulant complex Hadamard matrix. This suggests three analytic problems, namely: (1) the brute-force minimization of

P h i

, (2) the study of the critical points of

P h i

, and (3) the computation of the moments of

P h i

. We explore here these questions, with some results and conjectures.
