TLDR
A conference matrix of order n is a square matrix C with zeros on the diagonal and ± 1 elsewhere, which satisfies the orthogonality condition CCT = (n − 1)I as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
A conference matrix of order n is a square matrix C with zeros on the diagonal and ±1 elsewhere, which satisfies the orthogonality condition CCT = (n — 1)I. If in addition C is symmetric, C = CT, then its order n is congruent to 2 modulo 4 (see [5]). Symmetric conference matrices (C) are related to several important combinatorial configurations such as regular two-graphs, equiangular lines, Hadamard matrices and balanced incomplete block designs [1; 5; and 7, pp. 293-400]. We shall require several definitions.

Spectra of graphs

TL;DR: This book gives an elementary treatment of the basic material about graph Spectra, both for ordinary, and Laplace and Seidel spectra, by covering standard topics before presenting some new material on trees, strongly regular graphs, two-graphs, association schemes, p-ranks of configurations and similar topics.

Distance-Regular Graphs

TL;DR: In this paper, a connected simple graph with vertex set X of diameter d is considered, and the authors define Ri X2 by (x, y) Ri whenever x and y have graph distance.

Hadamard matrices, Sequences, and Block Designs

TL;DR: Seberry and Yamada as discussed by the authors considered the problem of finding the maximal determinant of real matrices with entries on the unit disc, and showed that Hadamard matrices satisfy the equality of the following inequality.

On orthogonal matrices

TL;DR: In this paper, Behbahani et al. showed that the OD(l2; 1,1, 1, 9) is the only orthogonal design constructible from 16 circulant matrices, whenever n > 1 is an odd integer, and showed that for each integer n for which 4n is the order of a Hadamard matrix and 8n 2 + 1 is a prime, there is a productive regular matrix of order 16n 2 (8n 2 ) 2.

Two-graphs, a second survey

TL;DR: A two-graph is a vertex set Ω and a collection Δ of 3-subsets of Ω such that every 4-subset of a given vertex set contains an even number of 3subsets from Δ as discussed by the authors.

A survey of two-graphs

J.J. Seidel
TL;DR: In this article, a one-to-one correspondence between the two-graphs and the switching classes of graphs on the set of n elements is established, and the correspondence is shown to hold also for the binary maps with vanishing co-boundaries.

Orthogonal matrices with zero diagonal

TL;DR: In this article, the negacyclic C-matrices of order v = 0 (mod 4) were shown to have no multipliers, unless v = 1 + pk, p prime.
