[#R752] The maximum is between 35^16 and 6,876,227,375,063^2
claim. A principal submatrix of a skew conference matrix gives the lower endpoint, while the skew Ehlich-Wojtas bound and Pfaffian integrality give the upper endpoint.
1Summary
Write \(D_{34}\) for the requested maximum. The certified bounds are \[ 5{,}070{,}942{,}774{,}902{,}496{,}337{,}890{,}625 =35^{16} \leq D_{34} \leq 6{,}876{,}227{,}375{,}063^2 =47{,}282{,}502{,}913{,}565{,}795{,}274{,}253{,}969. \] The lower endpoint is attained by the explicit order-34 matrix in `ssm34-artifact-gs36-principal-minor`. The upper endpoint follows for every matrix in the stated family. These sources and the computation do not determine equality at either endpoint, so the exact maximum remains open in this entry.
Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: all 34 by 34 skew-symmetric matrices with zero diagonal and every off-diagonal entry in {-1,1}.
2Evidence
A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.
Verification source: arxiv.org ↗, Klanderman, Montee, Piotrowski, Rice, and Shader, Theorems 5.4 and 5.5, combined with the order-36 construction of Goethals and Seidel and the exact replay below
