Projective Reed-Muller codes are constructed from the family of projective hypersurfaces of a fixed degree over a finite field $\F_q$. We consider the relationship between projective Reed-Muller codes and their duals. We determine when…

A linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with the Hamming metric is called $\Delta$-divisible if the weights of all codewords are divisible by $\Delta$. They have been introduced by Harold Ward a few decades ago. Applications include subspace…

The matrix code equivalence problem consists, given two matrix spaces $\mathcal{C},\mathcal{D} \subset \mathbb{F}_q^{m\times n}$ of dimension $k$, in finding invertible matrices $P\in\mathrm{GL}_m(\mathbb{F}_q)$ and…

In this paper we introduce and investigate rank-metric intersecting codes, a new class of linear codes in the rank-metric context, inspired by the well-studied notion of intersecting codes in the Hamming metric. A rank-metric code is said…

We study the Hermitian hull of a particular family of generalized Reed-Solomon codes. The problem of computing the dimension of the hull is translated to a counting problem in a lattice. By solving this problem, we provide explicit formulas…

Let $\mathrm{SLAut}(\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n})$ denote the group of all semilinear isometries on $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$, where $q=p^{e}$ is a prime power. Matrix-product (MP) codes are a class of long classical codes generated by combining several…

Sum-rank codes are an important class of codes which can be utilized for linear network coding, space-time coding and distributed storage. They can not only reduce the size of network alphabet but also detect and correct more errors. Based…

We show that the sequence of dimensions of the linear spaces, generated by a given rank-metric code together with itself under several applications of a field automorphism, is an invariant for the whole equivalence class of the code. These…
