In coding theory, a common question is to understand the threshold rates of various local properties of codes, such as their list decodability and list recoverability. A recent work Levi, Mosheiff, and Shagrithaya (FOCS 2025) gave a novel…
Let $r$ and $n$ be positive integers such that $r<n$, and $\mathbb{K}$ be an arbitrary field. We determine the maximal dimension for an affine subspace of $n$ by $n$ symmetric (or alternating) matrices with entries in $\mathbb{K}$ and with…
In this work, we study linear codes with the folded Hamming distance, or equivalently, codes with the classical Hamming distance that are linear over a subfield. This includes additive codes. We study MDS codes in this setting and define…
The linkage construction and its generalization is one of the most powerful constructions for constant dimension code, accounting for approximately 50\% of all the listed parameters. We show how to improve the linkage construction of…
Fibonacci codes are self-synchronizing variable-length codes that are proven useful for their robustness and compression capability. Asymptotically, these codes provide better compression efficiency as the order of the underlying Fibonacci…
We suggest a new approach to obtain bounds on locally correctable and some locally testable binary linear codes, by arguing that these codes (or their subcodes) have coset leader graphs with high discrete Ricci curvature. The bounds we…
For codes equipped with metrics such as Hamming metric, symbol pair metric or cover metric, the Johnson bound guarantees list-decodability of such codes. That is, the Johnson bound provides a lower bound on the list-decoding radius of a…
In the context of error control in random linear network coding, it is useful to construct codes that comprise well-separated collections of subspaces of a vector space over a finite field. In this paper, the metric used is the so-called…
We obtain universal bounds on the energy of codes and for designs in Hamming spaces. Our bounds hold for a large class of potential functions, allow unified treatment, and can be viewed as a generalization of the Levenshtein bounds for…
The problem of computing a linear combination of sources over a multiple access channel is studied. Inner and outer bounds on the optimal tradeoff between the communication rates are established when encoding is restricted to random…
We improve upon the upper bounds for the cardinality of the value set of a multivariable polynomial map over a finite field using the polytope of the polynomial. This generalizes earlier bounds only dependent on the degree of a polynomial.
The capacity of line networks with buffer size constraints is an open, but practically important problem. In this paper, the upper bound on the achievable rate of a class of codes, called batched codes, is studied for line networks. Batched…
We use affine variety codes and their subfield-subcodes for obtaining quantum stabilizer codes via the CSS code construction. With this procedure, we get codes with good parameters and a code whose parameters exceed the CSS quantum…
We consider upper bounds on the error probability in channel coding. We derive an improved maximum-likelihood union bound, which takes into account events where the likelihood of the correct codeword is tied with that of some competitors.…
For nonnegative integers $n_2, n_3$ and $d$, let $N(n_2,n_3,d)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a code of length $n_2+n_3$, with $n_2$ binary coordinates and $n_3$ ternary coordinates (in this order) and with minimum distance at least…
Upper bounds are given for the weight distribution of binary weakly self-dual codes. To get these new bounds, we introduce a novel method of utilizing unitary operations on Hilbert spaces. This method is motivated by recent progress on…
We introduce and explore a new concept of evasive subspace with respect to a collection of subspaces sharing a common dimension, most notably partial spreads. We show that this concept generalises known notions of subspace scatteredness and…

Understanding the limits of list-decoding and list-recovery of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes is of prime interest in coding theory and has attracted a lot of attention in recent decades. However, the best possible parameters for these problems…
