The defect of generalized Fourier matrices

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The NimesN complex Hadamard matrices form a real algebraic manifold CN. We have CN=MN(mathbbT)capsqrtNUN, and following Tadej and .Zyczkowski we investigate here the computation of the enveloping tangent space widetildeTHCN=THMN(mathbbT)capTHsqrtNUN, and notably of its dimension d(H)=dim(widetildeTHCN), called undephased defect of H. Our main result is an explicit formula for the defect of the Fourier matrix FG associated to an arbitrary finite abelian group G=mathbbZN1imes...imesmathbbZNr. We also comment on the general question "does the associated quantum permutation group see the defect", with a probabilistic speculation involving Diaconis-Shahshahani type variables.
