Weighted Subspace Designs from $q$-Polymatroids

Combinatorics 2022-11-23 v4

Abstract

The Assmus-Mattson theorem gives a way to identify block designs arising from codes. This result was broadened to matroids and weighted designs. In this work we present a further two-fold generalisation: first from matroids to polymatroids and also from sets to vector spaces. To achieve this, we introduce the characteristic polynomial of a qq-polymatroid and outline several of its properties.
