Difference Sets In Abelian 2-Groups, James A. Davis Jul 1991

Difference Sets In Abelian 2-Groups, James A. Davis

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

Examples of difference sets are given for large classes of abelian groups of order 22d + 2. This fills in the gap of knowledge between Turyn's exponent condition and Dillon's rank condition. Specifically, it is shown thatℤ/(2d)×ℤ/(2d+2) andℤ/(2d+1)×Z/(2d+1) both admit difference sets, and these have many implications.

A Note On Nonabelian (64, 28, 12) Difference Sets, James A. Davis

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

The existence of difference sets in abelian 2-groups is a recently settled problem [5]; this note extends the abelian constructs of difference sets to nonabelian groups of order 64.
