  abstract     = {In an  n×n  array filled with symbols, a transversal is a collection of entries with distinct rows, columns and symbols. In this note we show that if no symbol appears more than  βn  times, the array contains a transversal of size  (1−β/4−o(1))n . In particular, if the array is filled with  n  symbols, each appearing  n  times (an equi- n  square), we get transversals of size  (3/4−o(1))n. Moreover, our proof gives a deterministic algorithm with polynomial running time, that finds these transversals.},

  abstract     = {We use modular symmetric designs to study the existence of Hadamard matrices modulo certain primes. We solve the 7-modular and 11-modular versions of the Hadamard conjecture for all but a ﬁnite number of cases. In doing so, we state a conjectural sufﬁcient condition for the existence of a p-modular Hadamard matrix for all but ﬁnitely many cases. When 2 is a primitive root of a prime p, we conditionally solve this conjecture and therefore the p-modular version of the Hadamard conjecture for all but ﬁnitely many cases when p ≡ 3(mod 4), and prove a weaker result for p ≡ 1 (mod 4). Finally, we look at constraints on the existence of m-modular Hadamard matrices when the size of the matrix is small compared to m.},
