摘要

In this paper, we apply the theory of vanishing sums to study cyclic Butson matrices. First, we show that there is essentially “only one” Butson matrix over a group of prime order, which was previously not known. We then find a necessary condition for the existence of cyclic Butson matrices of order 2p where p is prime. For small p, we demonstrate how we might be able to determine all cyclic Butson matrices of order 2p. Specifically, we determine all cyclic Butson matrices of order 6.
