We describe a new class of list decodable codes based on Galois extensions of function fields and present a list decoding algorithm. These codes are obtained as a result of folding the set of rational places of a function field using…
In recent work of T. Cassidy and the author, a notion of complete intersection was defined for (non-commutative) regular skew polynomial rings, defining it using both algebraic and geometric tools, where the commutative definition is a…
We construct a family of (n,k) convolutional codes with degree \delta in {k,n-k} that have a maximum distance profile. The field size required for our construction is of the order n^{2\delta}, which improves upon the known constructions of…
Coding in the projective space has received recently a lot of attention due to its application in network coding. Reduced row echelon form of the linear subspaces and Ferrers diagram can play a key role for solving coding problems in the…
K\"othe's classical problem posed by G. K\"othe in 1935 asks to describe the rings $R$ such that every left $R$-module is a direct sum of cyclic modules (these rings are known as left K\"othe rings). K\"othe, Cohen and Kaplansky solved this…
In this paper, we construct new families of convolutional codes. Such codes are obtained by means of algebraic geometry codes. Additionally, more families of convolutional codes are constructed by means of puncturing, extending, expanding…
In this note, we study the twisted Jacquet modules of sub-quotients of principal series representations of ${\rm GL}_2(D)$ where $D$ is a division algebra over a non-archimedean local field $F$. We begin with a proof of a conjecture due to…
In this paper, a Roos like bound on the minimum distance for skew cyclic codes over a general field is provided. The result holds in the Hamming metric and in the rank metric. The proofs involve arithmetic properties of skew polynomials and…
Recently a powerful class of rate-compatible serially concatenated convolutional codes (SCCCs) have been proposed based on minimizing analytical upper bounds on the error probability in the error floor region. Here this class of codes is…
Let $K$ be a field and $E$ be a graph. Let $L_K(E)$ be the Leavitt path algebra of $E$ over $K$ with the standard involution $^\star$. We investigate the set of skew-symmetric elements, $\mathbf{K}_{L_K(E)}=\{x\in L_K(E) : x^{\star}=-x\}$,…
The aim of this paper is two fold: First to study finite groups $G$ of automorphisms of the homogenized Weyl algebra $B_{n}$, the skew group algebra $B_{n}\ast G$, the ring of invariants $B_{n}^{G}$, and the relations of these algebras with…
Subspace codes have received an increasing interest recently due to their application in error-correction for random network coding. In particular, cyclic subspace codes are possible candidates for large codes with efficient encoding and…
We address the problems of constructing quantum convolutional codes (QCCs) and of encoding them. The first construction is a CSS-type construction which allows us to find QCCs of rate 2/4. The second construction yields a quantum…
For a prime $p$, let $F_q$ be the finite field of order $q= p^d$. This paper presents the study on skew generalized quasi-cyclic (SGQC) codes of length $n$ over the non-chain ring $F_q+vF_q$ where $v^2=v$ and $\theta_t$ is the Galois…
A representation of the central extension of the unitary Lie algebra coordinated with a skew Laurent polynomial ring is constructed using vertex operators over an integral Z_2-lattice. The irreducible decomposition of the representation is…

Polynomial remainder codes are a large class of codes derived from the Chinese remainder theorem that includes Reed-Solomon codes as a special case. In this paper, we revisit these codes and study them more carefully than in previous work.…
We prove the following generalization of the classical Shephard-Todd-Chevalley Theorem. Let $G$ be a finite group of graded algebra automorphisms of a skew polynomial ring $A:=k_{p_{ij}}[x_1,...,x_n]$. Then the fixed subring $A^G$ has…
We study the classical K\"othe's problem, concerning the structure of non-commutative rings with the property that: ``every left module is a direct sum of cyclic modules". In 1934, K\"othe showed that left modules over Artinian principal…
We first summarize the basic structure of the outer distribution module of a completely regular code. Then, employing a simple lemma concerning eigenvectors in association schemes, we propose to study the tightest case, where the indices of…
