Rank-metric codes were studied by E. Gabidulin in 1985 after a brief introduction by Delsarte in 1978 as an equivalent of Reed-Solomon codes, but based on linearized polynomials. They have found applications in many areas, including linear…

We develop an algebraic theory of supports for $R$-linear codes of fixed length, where $R$ is a finite commutative unitary ring. A support naturally induces a notion of generalized weights and allows one to associate a monomial ideal to a…
