In this paper we classify all extremal and $s$-extremal binary self-dual codes of length 38. There are exactly 2744 extremal $[38,19,8]$ self-dual codes, two $s$-extremal $[38,19,6]$ codes, and 1730 $s$-extremal $[38,19,8]$ codes. We obtain…
We construct qubit stabilizer codes with parameters $[[81, 0, 20]]$ and $[[94, 0, 22]]$ for the first time. We use symplectic self-dual additive codes over $\mathbb{F}_4$ built by modifying the adjacency matrices of suitable metacirculant…

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…

The existence of an extremal self-dual binary linear code of length 120 is a long-standing open problem. We continue the investigation of its automorphism group, proving that automorphisms of order 30 and 57 cannot occur. Supposing the…
The structure of binary self-dual codes invariant under the action of a cyclic group of order $pq$ for odd primes $p\neq q$ is considered. As an application we prove the nonexistence of an extremal self-dual $[96, 48, 20]$ code with an…
