Abstract

We consider the [q+1,q3,5]q3[q+1,q-3,5]_q3 generalized doubly-extended Reed-Solomon code of codimension 44 as the code associated with the twisted cubic in the projective space PG(3,q)\mathrm{PG}(3,q). Basing on the point-plane incidence matrix of PG(3,q)\mathrm{PG}(3,q), we obtain the number of weight 3 vectors in all the cosets of the considered code. This allows us to classify the cosets by their weight distributions and to obtain these distributions. The weight of a coset is the smallest Hamming weight of any vector in the coset. For the cosets of equal weight having distinct weight distributions, we prove that the difference between the ww-th components, 3<wq+13<w\le q+1, of the distributions is uniquely determined by the difference between the 33-rd components. This implies an interesting (and in some sense unexpected) symmetry of the obtained distributions.
