Determinant of a matrix filled with elements of the Thue–Morse sequence

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Suppose we fill a square matrix $n\times n$ row-by-row with the first $n^2$ elements of the Thue–Morse sequence (with indexes from $0$ to $n^2-1$). Let $\mathcal D_n$ be ...

Are extremal tournament matrices always circulant or 'almost circulant'?

Define an antisymmetric 1-x-matrix as an $n\times n$ matrix $M=(m_{ij})$ with $m_{ii}=0$ and $\{m_{ij},m_{ji}\}=\{1,x\}$ for all $1\le i<j\le n$. Call their set $\mathcal A_n$. The setup is as ...
