Abstract

The proof of the non-existence of Griesmer [104,4,82]5[104, 4, 82]_5-codes is just one of many examples where extendability results are used. In a series of papers Landjev and Rousseva have introduced the concept of (tmodq)(t\operatorname{mod} q)-arcs as a general framework for extendability results for codes and arcs. Here we complete the known partial classification of (3mod5)(3 \operatorname{mod} 5)-arcs in PG(3,5)\operatorname{PG}(3,5) and uncover two missing, rather exceptional, examples disproving a conjecture of Landjev and Rousseva. As also the original non-existence proof of Griesmer [104,4,82]5[104, 4, 82]_5-codes is affected, we present an extended proof to fill this gap.
