First order deformations of the Fourier matrix

Abstract: The

N i m e s N

complex Hadamard matrices form a real algebraic manifold

C_{N}

. The singularity at a point

H i n C_{N}

is described by a filtration of cones

T^{i} m e s_{H} C_{N} s u b s e t T^{c} i r c_{H} C_{N} s u b s e t T_{H} C_{N} s u b s e t w i d e t i l d e T_{H} C_{N}

, coming from the trivial, affine, smooth and first order deformations. We study here these cones in the case where

H = F_{N}

is the Fourier matrix,

(w^{i j})

with

w = e^{2 p i i / N}

, our main result being a simple description of

w i d e t i l d e T_{H} C_{N}

. As a consequence, the rationality conjecture

d i m_{m} a t h b b R (w i d e t i l d e T_{H} C_{N}) = d i m_{m} a t h b b Q (w i d e t i l d e T_{H} C_{N} c a p M_{N} (m a t h b b Q))

holds at

H = F_{N}

.
