A Hadamard matrix is a real square matrix with entries and whose rows are pairwise orthogonal. Each row has squared norm , so and is an orthogonal matrix. In particular is invertible, with . The four-by-four example
is symmetric and satisfies . It supplies an exact intertwiner in four-tile mixed-boundary transplantation between a disk and a nonorientable surface.
A Hadamard matrix is a square matrix whose entries are either +1 or -1, and it has the property that its rows (or columns) are orthogonal to each other.
