In this work, we introduce the concept of distance between self-dual codes, which generalizes the concept of a neighbor for self-dual codes. Using the k-neighbors, we are able to construct extremal binary self-dual codes of length 68 with…
It is known that there is no extremal singly even self-dual $[n,n/2,d]$ code with minimal shadow for $(n,d)=(24m+2,4m+4)$, $(24m+4,4m+4)$, $(24m+6,4m+4)$, $(24m+10,4m+4)$ and $(24m+22,4m+6)$. In this paper, we study singly even self-dual…
By the Assmus and Mattson theorem, the codewords of each nontrivial weight in an extremal doubly even self-dual code of length 24m form a self-orthogonal 5-design. In this paper, we study the codes constructed from self-orthogonal 5-designs…
We study a correspondence between orientation reversing involutions on compact 3-manifolds with only isolated fixed points and binary, self-dual codes. We show in particular that every such code can be obtained from such an involution. We…
In this paper, we investigate the existence of self-dual MRD codes $C\subset L^n$, where $L/F$ is an arbitrary field extension of degree $m\geq n$. We then apply our results to the case of finite fields, and prove that if $m=n$ and…
We study the higher derivative corrections that occur in type II superstring theories in ten dimensions or less. Assuming invariance under a discrete duality group G(Z) we show that the generic functions of the scalar fields that occur can…
The aim of this work is to study the structure and properties of the binary LCD codes having an automorphisms of odd prime order and to present a method for their construction.
We study the automorphisms of binary stabilizer codes and states. We prove that they almost always form a solvable group, and thereby shed new light on the fact that there is no universal set of transversal gates. We also determine the…
Binary optimal codes often contain optimal or near-optimal subcodes. In this paper we show that this is true for the family of self-dual codes. One approach is to compute the optimum distance profiles (ODPs) of linear codes, which was…
Self-dual codes over $\Z_2\times\Z_4$ are subgroups of $\Z_2^\alpha \times\Z_4^\beta$ that are equal to their orthogonal under an inner-product that relates to the binary Hamming scheme. Three types of self-dual codes are defined. For each…
It is shown that a group defined by forbidding all patterns of size s+1 that do not appear in a given self-similar group of tree automorphisms is the topological closure of a self-similar, countable, regular branch group, branching over its…
In this paper we analyze possible actions of an automorphism of order six on a $2$-$(70, 24, 8)$ design, and give a complete classification for the action of the cyclic automorphism group of order six $G= \langle \rho \rangle \cong Z_6…
A lot of attention has been paid to the investigation of the algebraic properties of linear codes. In most cases, this investigation involves the determination of required code automorphisms, which are useful for decoders, such as the…
From a given $[n, k]$ code $C$, we give a method for constructing many $[n, k]$ codes $C'$ such that the hull dimensions of $C$ and $C'$ are identical. This method can be applied to constructions of both self-dual codes and linear…
The minimum distance of all binary linear codes with dimension at most eight is known. The smallest open case for dimension nine is length $n=46$ with known bounds $19\le d\le 20$. Here we present a $[46,9,20]_2$ code and show its…
We introduce a recursive method to deconstruct the automorphism group of an ordered set. By connecting this method with deep results for permutation groups, we prove the Automorphism Conjecture for ordered sets of width less than or equal…
Four circulant codes form a special class of $2$-generator, index $4$, quasi-cyclic codes. Under some conditions on their generator matrices they can be shown to be self-dual. Artin primitive root conjecture shows the existence of an…
The automorphism group of a code is the group of permutations that map a code to itself. Berman codes are a class of binary linear codes characterized by two integer parameters $n\geq 2$ and $m\geq 1$, and this class includes the…
Let D be the support design of the minimum weight of an extremal binary doubly even self-dual [24m,12m,4m+4] code. In this note, we consider the case when D becomes a t-design with t \geq 6.
We provide a combinatorial construction for linear codes attaining the maximum possible number of distinct weights. We then introduce the related problem of determining the existence of linear codes with an arbitrary number of distinct…
