Linearized Reed-Solomon (LRS) codes are evaluation codes based on skew polynomials. They achieve the Singleton bound in the sum-rank metric and therefore are known as maximum sum-rank distance (MSRD) codes. In this work, we give necessary…

Subspace codes have important applications in random network coding. It is interesting to construct subspace codes with both sizes, and the minimum distances are as large as possible. In particular, cyclic constant dimension subspaces codes…

In this work, we provide four methods for constructing new maximum sum-rank distance (MSRD) codes. The first method, a variant of cartesian products, allows faster decoding than known MSRD codes of the same parameters. The other three…

Lifted Reed-Solomon codes, introduced by Guo, Kopparty and Sudan in 2013, are known as one of the few families of high-rate locally correctable codes. They are built through the evaluation over the affine space of multivariate polynomials…

The sum-rank metric is the mixture of the Hamming and rank metrics. The sum-rank metric found its application in network coding, locally repairable codes, space-time coding, and quantum-resistant cryptography. Linearized Reed-Solomon (LRS)…

We study linear codes that maximize minimum distance subject to arbitrary support constraints on the parity-check matrix. Such constraints arise naturally in the design of LDPC codes, locally repairable codes, and hardware-constrained…

We present the theory of linear rank-metric codes from the point of view of their fundamental parameters. These are: the minimum rank distance, the rank distribution, the maximum rank, the covering radius, and the field size. The focus of…

Inspired by the work of Zhou "On equivalence of maximum additive symmetric rank-distance codes" (2020) based on the paper of Schmidt "Symmetric bilinear forms over finite fields with applications to coding theory" (2015), we investigate the…

Reed-Solomon codes and Gabidulin codes have maximum Hamming distance and maximum rank distance, respectively. A general construction using skew polynomials, called skew Reed-Solomon codes, has already been introduced in the literature. In…

We introduce the class of partition-balanced families of codes, and show how to exploit their combinatorial invariants to obtain upper and lower bounds on the number of codes that have a prescribed property. In particular, we derive precise…

Let $\bar{\Gamma}$ be the point-hyperplane geometry of a projective space $\mathrm{PG(V)},$ where $V$ is a $(n+1)$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of order $q.$ Suppose that $\sigma$ is an automorphism of…

In coding theory, a common question is to understand the threshold rates of various local properties of codes, such as their list decodability and list recoverability. A recent work Levi, Mosheiff, and Shagrithaya (FOCS 2025) gave a novel…

In this work we explore error-correcting codes derived from the "lifting" of "affine-invariant" codes. Affine-invariant codes are simply linear codes whose coordinates are a vector space over a field and which are invariant under…
