We express the weight enumerator of each binary linear code, in particular the Ising partition function of an arbitrary finite graph, as a formal infinite product. An analogous result was obtained by Feynman and Sherman in the beginning of…
We consider a class of linear codes associated to projective algebraic varieties defined by the vanishing of minors of a fixed size of a generic matrix. It is seen that the resulting code has only a small number of distinct weights. The…

This paper investigates the relation between linear codes and the stabilizer in ${\rm GL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ of their weight enumerators. We prove a result on the finiteness of stabilizers and give a complete classification of linear codes with…
We express the finite 3D Dimer partition function as a linear combination of determinants of oriented adjacency matrices, and the finite 3D Ising partition sum as a linear combination of products over aperiodic closed walks. The methodology…
We provide a combinatorial construction for linear codes attaining the maximum possible number of distinct weights. We then introduce the related problem of determining the existence of linear codes with an arbitrary number of distinct…
A binary linear code is called {\em LCD} if it intersects its dual trivially. We show that the coefficients of the joint weight enumerator of such a code with its dual satisfy linear constraints, leading to a new linear programming bound on…

We consider linear codes over a finite field of odd characteristic, derived from determinantal varieties, obtained from symmetric matrices of bounded ranks. A formula for the weight of a code word is derived. Using this formula, we have…
In the past few years, linear codes with few weights and their weight analysis have been widely studied. In this paper, we further investigate a class of two-weight or three-weight linear codes from defining sets and determine their weight…
Recently, linear codes constructed from defining sets have been studied extensively. They may have nice parameters if the defining set is chosen properly. Let $ m >2$ be a positive integer. For an odd prime $ p $, let $ r=p^m $ and…
An explicit formula for a weight enumerator of linear-congruence codes is provided. This extends the work of Bibak and Milenkovic [IEEE ISIT (2018) 431-435] addressing the binary case to the non-binary case. Furthermore, the extension…
In the 1960s, MacWilliams proved that the Hamming weight enumerator of a linear code over a finite field completely determines, and is determined by, the Hamming weight enumerator of its dual code. In particular, if two linear codes have…
