The permutation groups of cyclic codes are widely applicable in determining the weight distribution of codes, decoding theory and various other areas. In this paper, by employing two distinct matrix representations, we can relate cyclic…
A permutation-invariant quantum code on $N$ qudits is any subspace stabilized by the matrix representation of the symmetric group $S_N$ as permutation matrices that permute the underlying $N$ subsystems. When each subsystem is a complex…
In this paper we study a class of multishot network codes given by families of nested subspaces (flags) of a vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, being $q$ a prime power and $\mathbb{F}_q$ the finite field of $q$ elements. In particular, we focus…
A fascinating topic of combinatorics is $t$-designs, which have a very long history. The incidence matrix of a $t$-design generates a linear code over GF$(q)$ for any prime power $q$, which is called the linear code of the $t$-design over…
We study the problem of existence of one-parameter, linear families of polynomials of degree n all of whose polynomials have Galois group A_n. The methods we use have a strong geometric flavour.
We construct linear codes over the finite field Fq from arbitrary simplicial complexes, establishing a connection between topological properties and fundamental coding parameters. First, we study the behaviour of the weights of codewords…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of a prime $p$. Recently, a particular action of the group $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb F_q)$ on irreducible polynomials in $\mathbb F_q[x]$ has been introduced and…
A known Kronecker construction of completely regular codes has been investigated taking different alphabets in the component codes. This approach is also connected with lifting constructions of completely regular codes. We obtain several…
In this paper we generalize the notion of low-rank parity check (LRPC) codes by introducing a bilinear product over F^m q based on a generic 3-tensor in Fq^mxmxm, where Fq is the finite field with q elements. The generalized LRPC codes are…
In the recent work \cite{shi18}, a combinatorial problem concerning linear codes over a finite field $\F_q$ was introduced. In that work the authors studied the weight set of an $[n,k]_q$ linear code, that is the set of non-zero distinct…
In this paper we consider the mixed tensor space of a $\mathbb Z_2$-graded vector space. We obtain a spanning set of invariants of the associated symmetric algebra under the action of the general linear supergroup as well as the queer…
Given a prime power q, for every pair of positive integers m and n with m dividing the GCD of n and q-1, we construct a modular curve over F_q that parametrizes elliptic curves over F_q along with F_q-defined points P and Q of order m and…
Linear codes have been an interesting subject of study for many years, as linear codes with few weights have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, a class of…
It is known that a linear code can be represented by a binomial ideal. In this paper, we give standard bases for the ideals in a localization of the multivariate polynomial ring in the case of linear codes over prime fields.
We investigate the asymptotic number of equivalence classes of linear codes with prescribed length and dimension. While the total number of inequivalent codes of a given length has been studied previously, the case where the dimension…
We introduce the class of partition-balanced families of codes, and show how to exploit their combinatorial invariants to obtain upper and lower bounds on the number of codes that have a prescribed property. In particular, we derive precise…
We establish a new asymptotic formula for the number of polynomials of degree $n$ with $k$ prime factors over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The error term tends to $0$ uniformly in $n$ and in $q$, and $k$ can grow beyond $\log n$.…
This paper contributes to the study of rank-metric codes from an algebraic and combinatorial point of view. We introduce $q$-polymatroids, the $q$-analogue of polymatroids, and develop their basic properties. We associate a pair of…
Datta and Johnsen (Des. Codes and Cryptogr., {\bf{91}} (2023), 747-761) introduced a new family of evalutation codes in an affine space of dimension $\ge 2$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ where linear combinations of elementary…
We determine conditions on q for the nonexistence of deep holes of the standard Reed-Solomon code of dimension k over F_q generated by polynomials of degree k+d. Our conditions rely on the existence of q-rational points with nonzero,…
