Flag codes that are orbits of a cyclic subgroup of the general linear group acting on flags of a vector space over a finite field, are called cyclic orbit flag codes. In this paper we present a new contribution to the study of such codes…

Cyclic codes are an important class of linear codes. Bounding the minimum distance of cyclic codes is a long-standing research topic in coding theory, and several well-known and basic results have been developed on this topic. Recently,…

Quantum synchronizable error-correcting codes are special quantum error-correcting codes that are designed to correct both the effect of quantum noise on qubits and misalignment in block synchronization. It is known that in principle such a…
We give a polynomial improvement to the cycle-complete Ramsey numbers \[ r(C_{\ell},K_k) \geq k^{1+1/(\ell- 2) + \varepsilon_{\ell} + o(1)}, \] for all fixed odd $\ell > 7$ with $k \rightarrow \infty$, for some $\varepsilon_{\ell} > 0$.
In this paper, we study the hardness of decoding a random code endowed with the cover metric. As the cover metric lies in between the Hamming and rank metric, it presents itself as a promising candidate for code-based cryptography. We give…
In the problem of blind reconstruction of channel codes, the receiver does not have the knowledge of the channel code used at the transmitter and the aim is to identify this unknown channel code corresponding to the given received sequence.…
The determination of weight distribution of cyclic codes involves evaluation of Gauss sums and exponential sums. Despite of some cases where a neat expression is available, the computation is generally rather complicated. In this note, we…
As a generalization of cyclic codes, quasi-cyclic (QC) codes contain many good linear codes. But quasi-cyclic codes studied so far are mainly limited to one generator (1-generator) QC codes. In this correspondence, 2-generator and…
We show that polynomial codes (and some related codes) used for distributed matrix multiplication are interleaved Reed-Solomon codes and, hence, can be collaboratively decoded. We consider a fault tolerant setup where $t$ worker nodes…
By defining projective error models we study the mathematical structure of Clifford codes and stabilizer codes using tools from projective representation theory. Furthermore, we introduce a new class of codes which we have called weak…

We study covering codes of permutations with the $\ell_\infty$-metric. We provide a general code construction, which uses smaller building-block codes. We study cyclic transitive groups as building blocks, determining their exact covering…
Polar codes were introduced in 2009 and proven to achieve the symmetric capacity of any binary-input discrete memoryless channel under low-complexity successive cancellation decoding. In this thesis, we construct cyclic polar codes based on…
Let $R=\mathbb{Z}_4$ be the integer ring mod $4$. A double cyclic code of length $(r,s)$ over $R$ is a set that can be partitioned into two parts that any cyclic shift of the coordinates of both parts leaves invariant the code. These codes…

A long standing problem in the area of error correcting codes asks whether there exist good cyclic codes. Most of the known results point in the direction of a negative answer. The uncertainty principle is a classical result of harmonic…
