Abstract
In this article, we introduce what we call twisted Kronecker products of cocycles of finite groups and show that the twisted Kronecker product of two cocycles is a Hadamard cocycle if and only if the two cocycles themselves are Hadamard cocycles. This enables us to generalize some known results concerning products and factorizations of central semiβregular relative difference sets. Β© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This paper contains a discussion of cocyclic Hadamard matrices, their associated relative difference sets, and regular group actions. Nearly all central extensions of the elementary abelian 2-groups by Z 2 are shown to act regularly on the associated group divisible design of the Sylvester Hadamard
