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…

Over fields of characteristic unequal to $2$, we can identify symmetric matrices with homogeneous polynomials of degree $2$. This allows us to view symmetric rank-metric codes as living inside the space of such polynomials. In this paper,…
