We consider (symmetric, non-degenerate) bilinear spaces over a finite field and investigate the properties of their $\ell$-complementary subspaces, i.e., the subspaces that intersect their dual in dimension $\ell$. This concept generalizes…
Hermitian hulls of linear codes are interesting for theoretical and practical reasons alike. In terms of recent application, linear codes whose hulls meet certain conditions have been utilized as ingredients to construct…
In the present paper, we show that if the dimension of an arbitrary algebraic geometry code over a finite field of even characters is slightly less than half of its length, then it is equivalent to an Euclidean self-orthogonal code.…
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…
We prove that any Hermitian self-orthogonal $[n,k,d]_{q^2}$ code gives rise to an $[n,k,d]_{q^2}$ code with $\ell$ dimensional Hermitian hull for $0\le \ell \le k$. We present a new method to construct Hermitian self-orthogonal…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be the Hermitian curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. In this paper we complete the geometrical characterization of the supports of the minimum-weight codewords of the algebraic-geometry codes over…
Interest in the hulls of linear codes has been growing rapidly. More is known when the inner product is Euclidean than Hermitian. A shift to the latter is gaining traction. The focus is on a code whose Hermitian hull dimension and dual…
Extending recent work on the Euclidean hull, we derive closed-form ratio decompositions for the number of linear codes with prescribed Hermitian and symplectic hull dimension. The Hermitian ratio admits a uniform lower bound of at least…
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…
In this work, we study linear codes with the folded Hamming distance, or equivalently, codes with the classical Hamming distance that are linear over a subfield. This includes additive codes. We study MDS codes in this setting and define…
Finding a mass formula for a given class of linear codes is a fundamental problem in combinatorics and coding theory. In this paper, we consider the action of the unitary (resp. symplectic) group on the set of all Hermitian (resp.…
This paper introduces a class of Hermitian LCD $2$-quasi-abelian codes over finite fields and presents a comprehensive enumeration of these codes in which relative minimum weights are small. We show that such codes are asymptotically good…
Constacyclic and quasi-twisted Hermitian self-dual codes over finite fields are studied. An algorithm for factorizing $x^n-\lambda$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ is given, where $\lambda$ is a unit in $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. Based on this…
We provide an algorithm to construct unitary matrices over finite fields. We present various constructions of Hermitian self-dual code by means of unitary matrices, where some of them generalize the quadratic double circulant constructions.…
The intersection ${\bf C}\bigcap {\bf C}^{\perp_H}$ of a linear code ${\bf C} \subset {\bf F}_{q^2}$ and its Hermitian dual ${\bf C}^{\perp_H}$ is called the Hermitian hull of this code. A linear code ${\bf C} \subset {\bf F}_{q^2}$…

The hull of a linear code is the intersection of itself with its dual code with respect to certain inner product. Both Euclidean and Hermitian hulls are of theorical and practical significance. In this paper, we construct several new…
We study the Hermitian hull-variation problem for vector rank-metric codes. Except for one parameter pair, we show that the Hermitian hull dimension of such a code can be reduced to any smaller value within its equivalence class, and in…
