Abstract
Let be a finite field of characteristic not equal to or . We compute the weight enumerators of some projective and affine Reed-Muller codes of order over . These weight enumerators answer enumerative questions about plane cubic curves. We apply the MacWilliams theorem to give formulas for coefficients of the weight enumerator of the duals of these codes. We see how traces of Hecke operators acting on spaces of cusp forms for play a role in these formulas.
