## Abstract For every __n__ divisible by 4, we construct a square matrix __H__ of size __n__, with coefficients Β±β1, such that __HβΒ·βH^t^ββ‘βnI__ mod 32. This solves the 32βmodular version of the classical Hadamard conjecture. We also determine the set of lengths of 16βmodular Golay sequences. Β© 200

β¦ Synopsis
We are concerned here with the existence problem of 16-modular circulant Hadamard matrices H of size 4p (p prime), satisfying the additional condition that any two rows at distance n=2 in H are strictly orthogonal. A necessary existence condition is p 1 mod 8: For p 1 mod 16; existence follows from the more general result of a previous paper of ours, showing the existence of Γ°p Γ 1Γ-modular matrices of the above kind. In the remaining case p 9 mod 16; we construct explicit examples which solve the problem whenever 2 is a fourth power mod p: When 2 is not a fourth power mod p; we conjecture that such matrices cannot exist.

## Abstract We investigate signings of symmetric GDD($16 \times 2^i$, 16, $2^{4-i}$)s over $Z\_2$ for $1 \le i \le 3$. Beginning with $i=1$, at each stage of this process a signing of a GDD($16 \times 2^i$, 16, $2^{4-i}$) produces a GDD($16 \times 2^{i+1}$, 16, $2^{4-i-1}$). The initial GDDs ($i=1$
