Abstract

In this paper, we construct codes for local recovery of erasures with high availability and constant-bounded rate from the Hermitian curve. These new codes, called Hermitian-lifted codes, are evaluation codes with evaluation set being the set of Fq2\mathbb{F}_{q^2}-rational points on the affine curve. The novelty is in terms of the functions to be evaluated; they are a special set of monomials which restrict to low degree polynomials on lines intersected with the Hermitian curve. As a result, the positions corresponding to points on any line through a given point act as a recovery set for the position corresponding to that point.
