The article provides a survey on convolutional codes stressing the connections to module theory and systems theory. Constructions of codes with maximal possible distance and distance profile are provided. The article will appear as book…
In this paper, a transform approach is used for polycyclic and serial codes over finite local rings in the case that the defining polynomials have no multiple roots. This allows us to study them in terms of linear algebra and invariant…
The aim of this project is to attach a geometric structure to the ring of integers. It is generally assumed that the spectrum $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$ defined by Grothendieck serves this purpose. However, it is still not clear what…
We investigate the question which Q-valued characters and characters of Q-representations of finite groups are Z-linear combinations of permutation characters. This question is known to reduce to that for quasi-elementary groups, and we…
We introduce a notion of permutation presentations of modules over finite groups, and completely determine finite groups over which every module has a permutation presentation. To get this result, we prove that every coflasque module over a…
In this paper, we develop an explicit method to express finite algebraic numbers (in particular, certain idempotents among them) in terms of linear recurrent sequences, and give applications to the characterization of the splitting primes…
The problem of linking the structure of a finite linear dynamical system with its dynamics is well understood when the phase space is a vector space over a finite field. The cycle structure of such a system can be described by the…
Convolutional networks are large linear systems divided into layers and connected by non-linear units. These units are the "articulations" that allow the network to adapt to the input. To understand how a network manages to solve a problem…
Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a finite valuation ring of order $q^r$. In this paper we generalize and improve several well-known results, which were studied over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ and finite cyclic rings $\mathbb{Z}/p^r\mathbb{Z}$, in the…
We describe a method for solving linear systems over the localization of a commutative ring $R$ at a multiplicatively closed subset $S$ that works under the following hypotheses: the ring $R$ is coherent, i.e., we can compute finite…
The cohomology of the degree-$n$ general linear group over a finite field of characteristic $p$, with coefficients also in characteristic $p$, remains poorly understood. For example, the lowest degree previously known to contain nontrivial…
Codes considered as structures within unit schemes greatly extends the availability of linear block and convolutional codes and allows the construction of these codes to required length, rate, distance and type. Properties of a code emanate…
In this article, we introduce new scalar products over finite rings via additive isomorphisms. This allows us to define new notions of right (respectively left) orthogonal codes, that are not necessarily linear. This leads to definitions of…
We introduce the category of finite strings and study its basic properties. The category is closely related to the augmented simplex category, and it models categories of linear representations. Each lattice of non-crossing partitions…
We classify irreducible unitary representations of the group of all infinite matrices over a $p$-adic field ($p\ne 2$) with integer elements equipped with a natural topology. Any irreducible representation passes through a group $GL$ of…
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 compact classification of the projective lines defined over (commutative) rings (with unity) of all orders up to thirty-one is given. There are altogether sixty-five different types of them. For each type we introduce the total number of…
Noncatastrophic encoders are an important class of polynomial generator matrices of convolutional codes. When these polynomials have coefficients in a finite field, these encoders have been characterized are being polynomial left prime…
We present a finite-order system of recurrence relations for a permanent of circulant matrices containing a band of k any-value diagonals on top of a uniform matrix (for k = 1, 2, and 3) as well as the method for deriving such recurrence…
This work presents an approach towards the representation theory of the braid groups $B_n$. We focus on finite-dimensional representations over the field of Laurent series which can be obtained from representations of infinitesimal braids,…
