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 exampleis symmetric and satisfies . It supplies an exact intertwiner in four-tile mixed-boundary transplantation between a disk and a nonorientable surface.
