Information Theory 2019-01-23 v1 math.IT

Abstract

In this paper, we show some applications of algebraic curves to the construction of kernels of polar codes over a discrete memoryless channel which is symmetric w.r.t the field operations. We will also study the minimum distance of the polar codes proposed, their duals and the exponents of the matrices used for defining them. All the restrictions that we make to our curves will be accomplished by the so-called Castle Curves.
