Linear Codes Associated to Skew-symmetric Determinantal Varieties

Combinatorics 2018-10-10 v1

Abstract

In this article we consider linear codes coming from skew-symmetric determinantal varieties, which are defined by the vanishing of minors of a certain fixed size in the space of skew-symmetric matrices. In odd characteristic, the minimum distances of these codes are determined and a recursive formula for the weight of a general codeword in these codes is given.
