Bazzi and Mitter [3] showed that binary dihedral group codes are asymptotically good. In this paper we prove that the dihedral group codes over any finite field with good mathematical properties are asymptotically good. If the…
This is a manuscript of a chapter prepared for a book. The good codes possess large information length and large minimum distance. A class of codes is said to be asymptotically good if there exists a positive real $\delta$ such that, for…
We classify, in terms of the structure of the finite group G, all group algebras KG for which all right ideals are right annihilators of principal left ideals. This means in the language of coding theory that we classify code-checkable…
A finite group with a cyclic normal subgroup N such that G/N is cyclic is said to be metacyclic. A code over a finite field F is a metacyclic code if it is a left ideal in the group algebra FG for G a metacyclic group. Metacyclic codes are…
We give a simple construction of codes from left ideals in group algebras of certain dihedral groups and give an example to show that they can produce codes with weights equal to those of the best known codes of the same length.
We study the asymptotic behavior of a family of algebraic geometry codes which are 4-quasi transitive linear codes. We prove that this family is asymptotically good over many prime fields using towers of algebraic function fields.
Lenstra and Guruswami described number field analogues of the algebraic geometry codes of Goppa. Recently, the first author and Oggier generalised these constructions to other arithmetic groups: unit groups in number fields and orders in…
In this paper, we shall give an explicit proof that constacyclic codes over finite commutative rings can be realized as ideals in some twisted group rings. Also, we shall study isometries between those codes and, finally, we shall study…
This paper investigates the application of the theoretical algebraic notion of a separable ring extension, in the realm of cyclic convolutional codes or, more generally, ideal codes. We work under very mild conditions, that cover all…
We prove that the minimal left ideals of the superextension $\lambda(Z)$ of the discrete group $Z$ of integers are metrizable topological semigroups, topologically isomorphic to minimal left ideals of the superextension $\lambda(Z_2)$ of…
A (left) group code of length n is a linear code which is the image of a (left) ideal of a group algebra via an isomorphism from FG to Fn which maps G to the standard basis of Fn. Many classical linear codes have been shown to be group…
The problem of computing the dimension of a left/right ideal in a group algebra F[G] of a finite group G over a field F is considered. The ideal dimension is related to the rank of a matrix originating from a regular left/right…
It has been shown that good structured codes over non-Abelian groups do exist. Specifically, we construct codes over the smallest non-Abelian group $\mathds{D}_6$ and show that the performance of these codes is superior to the performance…
We describe and present a new construction method for codes using encodings from group rings. They consist primarily of two types: zero-divisor and unit-derived codes. Previous codes from group rings focused on ideals; for example cyclic…
We investigate group coding for arbitrary finite groups acting linearly on a vector space. These yield robust codes based on real or complex matrix groups. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for correct subgroup decoding using…
A kind of self-dual quasi-abelian codes of index $2$ over any finite field $F$ is introduced. By counting the number of such codes and the number of the codes of this kind whose relative minimum weights are small, such codes are proved to…
We investigate whether the group algebra of a finite group over a localisation of the integers is semiperfect. The main result is a necessary and sufficient arithmetic criterion in the ordinary case. In the modular case, we propose a…
In this article we prove lower and upper bounds for class numbers of algebraic curves defined over finite fields. These bounds turn out to be better than most of the previously known bounds obtained using combinatorics. The methods used in…
It is proved in a reference (Fan, Lin, IEEE TIT, vol.67, pp.5016-5025) that the self-dual (LCD respectively) dihedral codes over a finite field~$F$ with ${|F|=q}$ are asymptotically good if $q$ is even (odd respectively). In this paper, we…
We present a simple method to establish the existence of asymptotically good sequences of iso-dual AG-codes. A key advantage of our approach, beyond its simplicity, is its flexibility, allowing it to be applied to a wide range of towers of…
