Abstract
We generalize a construction of partial difference sets (PDS) by Chen, Ray-Chaudhuri, and Xiang through a study of the Teichmüller sets of the Galois rings. Let R=GR(p2, t) be the Galois ring of characteristic p2 and rank t with Teichmüller set T and let π:R→R/pR be the natural homomorphism. We give a construction of PDS in R with the parameters ν=p2t, k=r(pt-1), λ=pt+r2-3r, μ=r2-r, where r=lpt-s(p, t), 1≤l≤ps(p, t), and s(p, t) is the largest dimension of a GF(p)-subspace W⊂R/pR such that π-1(W)∩T generates a subgroup of R of rank
