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…

MacWilliams identities relate the weight enumerators of a code with those of its dual and are classically formulated with respect to the Hamming weight. For other metrics, however, these identities often fail when considering the weight…
