An explicit construction for neighborly centrally symmetric polytopes

We give an explicit construction, based on Hadamard matrices, for an infinite series of $\big\lfloor\frac12\sqrt{d}\big\rfloor$-neighborly centrally symmetric $d$-dimensional polytopes with $4d$~vertices. This appears to be the best explicit version yet of a recent probabilistic result due to Linial...

Description
Summary:We give an explicit construction, based on Hadamard matrices, for an infinite series of $\big\lfloor\frac12\sqrt{d}\big\rfloor$-neighborly centrally symmetric $d$-dimensional polytopes with $4d$~vertices. This appears to be the best explicit version yet of a recent probabilistic result due to Linial and Novik, who proved the existence of such polytopes with a neighborliness of~$\frac{d}{400}$.
