For every positive integer $m$, we construct a symmetric $(v,k,\lambda )$-design with parameters $v={{h((2h-1)^{2m}-1)}\over{h-1}}$, $k=h(2h-1)^{2m-1}$, and $\lambda =h(h-1)(2h-1)^{2m-2}$, where $h=\pm 3\cdot 2^d$ and $|2h-1|$ is a prime power. For $m\geq 2$ and $d\geq 1$, these parameter values were previously undecided. The tools used in the construction are balanced generalized weighing matrices and regular Hadamard matrices of order $9\cdot 4^d$.

Balanced generalized weighing matrices are applied for constructing a family of symmetric designs with parameters $(1+qr(r^{m+1}-1)/(r-1),r^{m},r^{m-1}(r-1)/q)$, where $m$ is any positive integer and $q$ and $r=(q^{d}-1)/(q-1)$ are prime powers, and a family of non-embeddable quasi-residual $2-((r+1)(r^{m+1}-1)/(r-1),r^{m}(r+1)/2,r^{m}(r-1)/2)$ designs, where $m$ is any positive integer and $r=2^{d}-1$, $3\cdot 2^{d}-1$ or $5\cdot 2^{d}-1$ is a prime power, $r\geq 11$.

Let $4n^2$ be the order of a Bush-type Hadamard matrix with $q=(2n-1)^2$ a prime power. It is shown that there is a weighing matrix $$ W(4(q^m+q^{m-1}+\cdots+q+1)n^2,4q^mn^2) $$ which includes two symmetric designs with the Ionin–type parameters $$ \nu=4(q^m+q^{m-1}+\cdots+q+1)n^2,\;\;\; \kappa=q^m(2n^2-n), \;\;\; \lambda=q^m(n^2-n) $$ for every positive integer $m$. Noting that Bush–type Hadamard matrices of order $16n^2$ exist for all $n$ for which an Hadamard matrix of order $4n$ exist, this provides a new class of symmetric designs.

Let f be an even integral weight, normalized, cuspidal Hecke eigenform over SL2(ℤ) with Fourier coefficients a(n). Let j be a positive integer. We prove that for almost all primes p the sequence (a(pjn))n≥0 has infinitely many sign changes. We also obtain a similar result for any cusp form with real Fourier coefficients that provide the characteristic polynomial of some generalized Hecke operator is irreducible over ℚ.

Dedicated to Professor George SzekeresShort amicable sets were introduced recently and have many applications. The construction of short amicable sets has lead to the construction of many orthogonal designs, weighing matrices and Hadamard matrices. In this paper we give some constructions for short amicable sets as well as some multiplication theorems. We also present a table of the short amicable sets known to exist and we construct some infinite families of short amicable sets and orthogonal designs.

1. Introduction. We prove, using a theorem of M. Hall on cyclic projective planes, that if g is a prime power such that either 1 + q + q2 is a prime congruent to 3, 5 or 7 (mod 8) or 3 + 2q + 2q2 is a prime power, then there exists a skew-Hadamard matrix of the Goethals-Seidel type of order 4(1 + q + q2). (A Hadamard matrix H is said to be of skew type if one of H + I, H — lis skew symmetric. ) If 1 + q + q2 is a prime congruent to 1 (mod 8), then a Hadamard matrix, not necessarily of skew type, of order 4(1 + q + q2) is constructed. The smallest new Hadamard matrix obtained has order 292.
