Abstract:
Recent computer searches have revealed the structure of Partial Difference Sets in nonabelian groups of order 64, and many of these constructions contain linking difference sets in an abelian subgroup of order 16. We provide examples of this phenomenon, and we indicate what will be needed in order to generalize this to infinite families of PDSs.
