Abstract

To each nodal hypersurface one can associate a binary linear code. Here we show that the binary linear code associated to sextics in P3\mathbb{P}^3 with the maximum number of 6565 nodes, as e.g. the Barth sextic, is unique. We also state possible candidates for codes that might be associated with a hypothetical septic attaining the currently best known upper bound for the maximum number of nodes.
