Abstract

The tensor rank of some Gabidulin codes of small dimension is investigated. In particular, we determine the tensor rank of any rank metric code equivalent to an 88-dimensional Fq\mathbb{F}_q-linear generalized Gabidulin code in Fq4×4\mathbb{F}_{q}^{4\times4}. This shows that such a code is never minimum tensor rank. In this way, we detect the first infinite family of Gabidulin codes which are not minimum tensor rank.
