Abstract

Nebe, Rains and Sloane studied the polynomial invariants for real and complex Clifford groups and they relate the invariants to the space of complete weight enumerators of certain self-dual codes. The purpose of this paper is to show that very similar results can be obtained for the invariants of the complex Clifford group Xm\mathcal{X}_m acting on the space of conjugate polynomials in 2m2^m variables of degree N1N_1 in xfx_f and of degree N2N_2 in their complex conjugates xf\overline{x_f}. In particular, we show that the dimension of this space is 22, for (N1,N2)=(5,5)(N_1,N_2)=(5,5). This solves the Conjecture 2 given in Zhu, Kueng, Grassl and Gross affirmatively. In other words if an orbit of the complex Clifford group is a projective 44-design, then it is automatically a projective 55-design.
