We introduce in this article a new method to estimate the minimum distance of codes from algebraic surfaces. This lower bound is generic, i.e. can be applied to any surface, and turns out to be ``liftable'' under finite morphisms, paving…
We give a computable lower bound on the distance between two distinct periods of a given quartic surface defined over the algebraic numbers. The main ingredient is the determination of height bounds on components of the Noether--Lefschetz…
