Rank-metric codes are subspaces of matrices over finite fields endowed with the rank metric and admit a natural tensorial representation. The tensor rank provides a measure of the minimal size of a decomposition of a code into rank-one…

We introduce normalized Drinfeld modular curves that parameterize rank $m$ Drinfeld modules compatible with a $T$-torsion structure arising from a given conjugacy class of nilpotent upper-triangular $n\times n$ matrices with rank $\geqslant…

Let $X=X(n,q)$ be the set of $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. It is well known that $X$ gives rise to a metric translation association scheme whose classes are induced by the rank metric. We study $d$-codes in this…

The primary objective of this paper is to derive explicit formulas for rank one and rank two Drinfeld modules over a specific domain denoted by A. This domain corresponds to the projective line associated with an infinite place of degree…

We review the main results of the theory of rank-metric codes, with emphasis on their combinatorial properties. We study their duality theory and MacWilliams identities, comparing in particular rank-metric codes in vector and matrix…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field with $q=p^\lambda$ elements. Maximum Rank-metric codes (MRD for short) are subsets of $M_{m\times n}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ whose number of elements attains the Singleton-like bound. The first MRD codes…

Let $\Phi $ be a Drinfeld $\mathbf{F}_{q}[T]$-module of rank 2, over a finite field $L$, a finite extension of $n$ degrees of a finite field with $q$ elements $\mathbf{F}_{q}$. Let $m$ be the extension degrees of $ L$ over the field…

In this paper, we propose and study $r$-minimal codes, a natural extension of minimal codes which have been extensively studied with respect to Hamming metric, rank metric and sum-rank metric. We first propose $r$-minimal codes in a general…

We formulate and prove a log-algebraicity theorem for arbitrary rank Drinfeld modules defined over the polynomial ring F_q[theta]. This generalizes results of Anderson for the rank one case. As an application we show that certain special…

We define a class of automorphisms of rational function fields of finite characteristic and employ these to construct different types of optimal linear rank-metric codes. The first construction is of generalized Gabidulin codes over…

For an extension $K/\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ of the rational function field over a finite field, we introduce the notion of virtually $K$-rational Drinfeld modules as a function field analogue of $\mathbb{Q}$-curves. Our goal in this article is to…

We study tensor powers of rank 1 sign-normalized Drinfeld A-modules, where A is the coordinate ring of an elliptic curve over a finite field. Using the theory of A-motives, we find explicit formulas for the A-action of these modules. Then,…

We study the quasi-endomorphism ring of infinitely definable subgroups in separably closed fields. Based on the results we obtain, we are able to prove a Mordell-Lang theorem for Drinfeld modules of finite characteristic. Using…

Rank-2 Drinfeld modules are a function-field analogue of elliptic curves, and the purpose of this paper is to investigate similarities and differences between rank-2 Drinfeld modules and elliptic curves in terms of supersingularity.…

In this paper we completely classify semifields of order $2^8=256$ containing a nucleus of order $2^4=16$. We introduce new invariants for semifields, and apply new computational techniques for calculating old invariants. Together these…

We investigate the Whitney numbers of the first kind of rank-metric lattices, which are closely linked to the open problem of enumerating rank-metric codes having prescribed parameters. We apply methods from the theory of hyperovals and…

We consider generalizations of Reed-Muller codes, toric codes, and codes from certain plane curves, such as those defined by norm and trace functions on finite fields. In each case we are interested in codes defined by evaluating arbitrary…

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. The…
