Abstract: We will present a relation between real equiangular frames and certain special sets in groups which we call signature sets and show that many equiangular frames arise in this manner. Then we will define quasi-signature sets and will examine equiangular frames associated to these subsets of groups. We will extend these results to complex equiangular frames where the inner product between any pair of vectors is a common multiple of a cube root of unity and exhibit equiangular frames that arise from groups in this manner.


Equiangular tight frames play an important role in several areas of mathematics ranging from signal processing to quantum computing. These are an important class of finite dimensional frames because of their superior performance and numerous applications. In this paper the author presents a novel way to construct equiangular tight frames by considering subsets of groups having certain properties. It is proved that many equiangular tight frames arise from subsets of groups which are called signature sets. Real equiangular tight frames associated with these subsets of groups are examined by defining quasi-signature sets. This group-theoretic approach to frame theory has also led to two new and potentially significant relationships: first between reversible Hadamard difference sets and equiangular tight frames of the type \((n,(n-\sqrt{n})/2)\) arising from, and the second between equiangular tight frames of the type \((2k,k)\) arising from groups, and Artin's conjecture. These results are extended to complex equiangular tight frames where the inner product between any pair of vectors is a common multiple of a cubic root of unity and exhibit equiangular tight frames that arise from groups.
