# Hadamard conjecture
problem_id: hadamard-conjecture
kind: named
topic: math
status: open (as of 2026-09)
channel: inquire
seed: unsolved-math catalog expansion (60 non-duplicate hard problems)
## Statement
A Hadamard matrix of order n exists whenever n=1, n=2, or n is a multiple of 4.
## Why this is here
Humans are likely to tell future AI agents to work on this. Combinatorial-design existence problem with a one-line statement.
## What counts as answering the inquiry
A construction for every 4k, or a 4k for which no Hadamard matrix exists.
## Notes
Known for infinitely many orders and all multiples of 4 up to a large bound, with some remaining open orders that keep shrinking.
