The existence of an extremal self-dual binary linear code of length 120 is a long-standing open problem. We continue the investigation of its automorphism group, proving that automorphisms of order 30 and 57 cannot occur. Supposing the…

We prove that a putative $[72,36,16]$ code is not the image of linear code over $\ZZ_4$, $\FF_2 + u \FF_2$ or $\FF_2+v\FF_2$, thus proving that the extremal doubly even $[72,36,16]$-binary code cannot have an automorphism group containing a…

We prove that the only primes which may divide the order of the automorphism group of a putative binary self-dual doubly-even [120, 60, 24] code are 2, 3, 5, 7, 19, 23 and 29. Furthermore we prove that automorphisms of prime order $p \geq…

Let C be a binary self-dual code with an automorphism g of order 2p, where p is an odd prime, such that g^p is a fixed point free involution. If C is extremal of length a multiple of 24 all the involutions are fixed point free, except the…

A binary linear code whose permutation automorphism group has a fixed point free permutation of order $3$ is called a binary cubic code. The scope of this paper is to investigate the structural properties of binary cubic codes. Let $C$ be a…

The existence of an extremal self-dual binary linear code C of length 72 is a long-standing open problem. We continue the investigation of its automorphism group: looking at the combination of the subcodes fixed by different involutions and…

A computer calculation with Magma shows that there is no extremal self-dual binary code C of length 72 that has an automorphism group containing D10, Z3xZ3, or Z7. Combining this with the known results in the literature one obtains that…

A computer calculation with Magma shows that there is no extremal self-dual binary code C of length 72, whose automorphism group contains the symmetric group of degree 3, the alternating group of degree 4 or the dihedral group of order 8.…

The purpose of this paper is to complete the classification of binary self-dual [48,24,10] codes with an automorphism of odd prime order. We prove that if there is a self-dual [48, 24, 10] code with an automorphism of type p-(c,f) with p…

The structure of binary self-dual codes invariant under the action of a cyclic group of order $pq$ for odd primes $p\neq q$ is considered. As an application we prove the nonexistence of an extremal self-dual $[96, 48, 20]$ code with an…

All binary self-dual [44,22,8] codes with an automorphism of order 3 or 7 are classified. In this way we complete the classification of extremal self-dual codes of length 44 having an automorphism of odd prime order.

It has been proven in a series of works that the order of the automorphism group of a binary [72,36,16] code does not exceed five. We obtain a parametrization of all self-dual binary codes of length 72 with automorphism of order 4 which can…

We investigate the properties of binary linear codes of even length whose permutation automorphism group is a cyclic group generated by an involution. Up to dimension or co-dimension $4$, we show that there is no quasi group code whose…

Let C be a binary linear code and suppose that its automorphism group contains a non trivial subgroup G. What can we say about C knowing G? In this paper we collect some answers to this question in the cases G=C_p, G=C_2p and G=D_2p (p an…

The existence of a biplane with parameters $(121,16,2)$ is an open problem. Recently, it has been proved by Alavi, Daneshkhah and Praeger that the order of an automorphism group of a of possible biplane ${\mathcal D}$ of order $14$ divides…

The automorphism group of a binary doubly-even self-dual code is always contained in the alternating group. On the other hand, given a permutation group $G$ of degree $n$ there exists a doubly-even self-dual $G$-invariant code if and only…

A classical result of Conway and Pless is that a natural projection of the fixed code of an automorphism of odd prime order of a self-dual binary linear code is self-dual. In this paper we prove that the same holds for involutions under…

Let $C$ be an extremal self-dual binary code of length 72 and $g\in \Aut(C) $ be an automorphism of order 2. We show that $C$ is a free $\F_2<g>$ module and use this to exclude certain subgroups of order 8 of $\Aut (C)$. We also show that…

The existence of an extremal code of length 72 is a long-standing open problem. Let C be a putative extremal code of length 72 and suppose that C has an automorphism g of order 6. We show that C, as an F_2<g>-module, is the direct sum of…

We investigate the size of fixed point sets of automorphisms of bounded domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. In one complex variable, a nontrivial automorphism has at most two fixed points, but in higher dimensions fixed point sets need not be…
