This paper is a continuation of the work by R.L. McFarland and S.L. Ma on abelian difference sets with -1 as a multiplier. More nonexistence results are obtained as a consequence of a theorem on the existence of sub-difference sets. In particular, nonexistence is shown fi3r the two cases left undeci

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we study finite abelian groups admitting a d~fference set with multiplier -1. In these groups we have that each integer, which is relatively prime to the group order, is a multiplier (see and Section I of this paper).
About the arithmetical structure, there is an interesting result of Jungnickel 1-3] on primes dividing the order n of the corresponding design. Here we prove (see Theorem 2.1) that each odd prime divisor of the order v of the group divides n. The proof of Theorem 2.1 rests on character computations and is motivated by .
