A Locally Recoverable code is an error-correcting code such that any erasure in a single coordinate of a codeword can be recovered from a small subset of other coordinates. We study Locally Recoverable Algebraic Geometry codes arising from…

Locally recoverable codes were introduced by Gopalan et al. in 2012, and in the same year Prakash et al. introduced the concept of codes with locality, which are a type of locally recoverable codes. In this work we introduce a new family of…

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…

An erasure code is said to be a code with sequential recovery with parameters $r$ and $t$, if for any $s \leq t$ erased code symbols, there is an $s$-step recovery process in which at each step we recover exactly one erased code symbol by…

A locally recoverable code is a code over a finite alphabet such that the value of any single coordinate of a codeword can be recovered from the values of a small subset of other coordinates. Building on work of Barg, Tamo, and…

In most notions of locality in error correcting codes -- notably locally recoverable codes (LRCs) and locally decodable codes (LDCs) -- a decoder seeks to learn a single symbol of a message while looking at only a few symbols of the…

A locally recoverable code of locality $r$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ is a code where every coordinate of a codeword can be recovered using the values of at most $r$ other coordinates of that codeword. Locally recoverable codes are efficient at…
