skew Hadamard matrix (Definition)

A Hadamard matrix $H$ is skew Hadamard if $H+H^T=2I$

A collection of skew Hadamard matrices, including at least one example of every order $n \le 100$ and also including every equivalence class of order $\le 28$ is available at this web page. It has been conjectured that one exists for every positive order divisible by 4.

Reid and Brown in 1972 showed that there exists a ``doubly regular tournament of order n'' if and only if there exists a skew Hadamard matrix of order n+1.
