In this note, a class of error-correcting codes is associated to a toric variety associated to a fan defined over a finite field $\fff_q$, analogous to the class of Goppa codes associated to a curve. For such a ``toric code'' satisfying…

$(1+pw)$-constacyclic codes of arbitrary length over the non-principal ideal ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p^s} +u\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}$ are studied, where $p$ is a prime, $w\in \mathbb{Z}_{p^s}^{\times}$ and $s$ an integer satisfying $s\geq 2$. First, the…

We investigate several types of linear codes constructed from two families $\tilde{\mathcal S}_q$ and $\tilde{\mathcal R}_q$ of maximal curves over finite fields recently constructed by Skabelund as cyclic covers of the Suzuki and Ree…

In this paper we describe a class of codes called {\it permutation codes}. This class of codes is a generalization of cyclic codes and quasi-cyclic codes. We also give some examples of optimal permutation codes over binary, ternary, and…

We describe an algorithm to compute the number of points over finite fields on a broad class of modular curves: we consider quotients $X_H/W$ for $H$ a subgroup of $\GL_2(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$ such that for each prime $p$ dividing $n$, the…

We introduce a set of axioms for locally topologically ordered quantum spin systems in terms of nets of local ground state projections, and we show they are satisfied by Kitaev's Toric Code and Levin-Wen type models. For a locally…

Let $r,s,t$ be three positive integers and $\mathcal{C}$ be a binary linear code of lenght $r+s+t$. We say that $\mathcal{C}$ is a triple cyclic code of lenght $(r,s,t)$ over $\mathbb{Z}_2$ if the set of coordinates can be partitioned into…

In this paper, we investigate the theory of $g$-twisted modules for modular $\frac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}$-graded vertex superalgebras over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of prime characteristic $p>2$. For a…

We propose a framework to study models of computation of indeterministic data, represented by abstract "distributions". In these distributions, probabilities are replaced by "amplitudes" drawn from a fixed semi-ring $S$, of which the…

In this Ph.D dissertation (University of Virginia, 2022), we prove results about the coefficients of partition-theoretic generating functions and of coefficients of integer weight modular forms. Using various forms of the circle method, we…

A conservation law is one of the most fundamental properties in nature, but a certain class of conservation "laws"' could be spoiled by intrinsic quantum mechanical effects, so-called quantum anomalies. Profound properties of the anomalies…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of $q=p^m$ elements where $p$ is a prime and $m$ is a positive integer. This paper considers $(\gamma,\Delta)$-cyclic codes over a class of finite non-chain commutative rings…

These are the notes for a Part III course given in the University of Cambridge in autumn 1998. They contain an exposition of the representation theory of the Lie algebras of compact matrix groups, affine Kac-Moody algebras and the Virasoro…

Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes with arbitrary lengths over the ring $\mathbb{F}_{q}+u\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $u^2=0$, $q=p^n$, $n$ a positive integer and $p$ a prime number, are investigated. By the Chinese Remainder Theorem,…

Let $K$ be a number field. For positive integers $m$ and $n$ such that $m\mid n$, we let $\mathscr{S}_{m,n}$ be the set of elliptic curves $E/K$ defined over $K$ such that $E(K)_{\operatorname{tors}}\supseteq \mathscr{T}\cong…

In these lecture notes, we first recall the connection between graph neural networks, Weisfeiler-Lehman tests and logics such as first-order logic and graded modal logic. We then present a modal logic in which counting modalities appear in…

Multi-twisted (MT) codes were introduced as a generalization of quasi-twisted (QT) codes. QT codes have been known to contain many good codes. In this work, we show that codes with good parameters and desirable properties can be obtained…

We give a deterministic algorithm that very quickly proves the primality or compositeness of the integers N in a certain sequence, using an elliptic curve E/Q with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of Q(sqrt(-7)). The algorithm…

In this work, we study a class of skew cyclic codes over the ring $R:=\mathbb{Z}_4+v\mathbb{Z}_4,$ where $v^2=v,$ with an automorphism $\theta$ and a derivation $\Delta_\theta,$ namely codes as modules over a skew polynomial ring…

Recently, a beautiful paper of Andrews and Sellers has established linear congruences for the Fishburn numbers modulo an infinite set of primes. Since then, a number of authors have proven refined results, for example, extending all of…
