The MacWilliams extension theorem is investigated for various weight functions over finite Frobenius rings. The problem is reformulated in terms of a local-global property for subgroups of the general linear group. Among other things, it is…
MacWilliams proved that every finite field has the extension property for Hamming weight which was later extended in a seminal work by Wood who characterized finite Frobenius rings as precisely those rings which satisfy the MacWilliams…
In this paper we study codes where the alphabet is a finite Frobenius bimodule over a finite ring. We discuss the extension property for various weight functions. Employing an entirely character-theoretic approach and a duality theory for…
Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring. We prove that a MacWilliams type relation between the m-spotty weight enumerators of a linear code over $R$ and its dual hold, if and only if, $R$ is a Frobenius (equivalently, Quasi-Frobenius) ring, if…
We give a sufficient condition for a bi-invariant weight on a Frobenius bimodule to satisfy the extension property. This condition applies to bi-invariant weights on a finite Frobenius ring as a special case. The complex-valued functions on…
The Equivalence Theorem states that, for a given weight on the alphabet, every linear isometry between linear codes extends to a monomial transformation of the entire space. This theorem has been proved for several weights and alphabets,…
Finite Frobenius rings have been characterized as precisely those finite rings satisfying the MacWilliams extension property, by work of Wood. In the present note we offer a generalization of this remarkable result to the realm of Artinian…
In this paper, we characterize the MacWilliams extension property (MEP) and constant weight codes with respect to $\omega$-weight defined on $\mathbb{F}^{\Omega}$ via an elementary approach, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a finite field, $\Omega$ is…
This work develops new foundations for the theory of linear codes over local Artinian commutative rings. We use algebraic invariants such as the socle, type, length, and minimal number of generators to measure the size of codes. We prove a…
This paper examines the $w$-weight enumerators of weights $w$ with maximal symmetry over finite chain rings and matrix rings over finite fields. In many cases, including the homogeneous weight, the MacWilliams identities for $w$-weight…
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…
With a small suitable modification, dropping the projectivity condition, we extend the notion of a Frobenius algebra to grant that a Frobenius algebra over a Frobenius commutative ring is itself a Frobenius ring. The modification introduced…
A characterization of module alphabets with the Hamming weight EP (abbreviation for Extension Property) had been settled. A thoughtfully constructed example by J.A.Wood finished the tour. Frobenius bimodules were proved to satisfy the EP…
In this paper, we consider codes over finite fields, finite abelian groups, and finite Frobenius rings. For such codes, the complete weight enumerator and the Hamming weight enumerator serve as powerful tools. These two types of weight…
Let $\mathbf{H}$ be the cartesian product of a family of left modules over a ring $S$, indexed by a finite set $\Omega$. We are concerned with the $(\mathbf{P},\omega)$-weight on $\mathbf{H}$, where…
In 2009, J. Wood proved that Frobenius bimodules have the extension property for symmetrized weight compositions. More generally, it was later shown that having a cyclic socle is sufficient for satisfying the property, while the necessity…
The results of [1,2] on linear homogeneous two-weight codes over finite Frobenius rings are exended in two ways: It is shown that certain non-projective two-weight codes give rise to strongly regular graphs in the way described in [1,2].…

We interpret the symmetrized weight enumerator of linear codes over finite commutative Frobenius rings as a summation over multisets and thereby provide a new proof of the MacWilliams identity for the symmetrized weight enumerator. The…
Let $S/R$ be a Frobenius extension with $_RS_R$ centrally projective over $R$. We show that if $_R\omega$ is a Wakamatsu tilting module then so is $_SS\otimes_R\omega$, and the natural ring homomorphism from the endomorphism ring of…
