Abstract

Let pp be a prime number and s>0s> 0 an integer. In this short note, we investigate one-point geometric Goppa codes associated with an elementary abelian pp-extension of Fps(x)\mathbb{F}_{p^{s}}(x). We determine their dimension and the exact minimum distance in a few cases. These codes are a special case of weak Castle codes. We also list the exact values of the second generalized Hamming weight of these codes in a few cases. Simple criteria for the self-duality and the quasi-self-duality of these codes are also provided. Furthermore, we construct examples of quantum codes, convolutional codes, and locally recoverable codes on the function field.
