We consider linear codes associated to Schubert varieties in Grassmannians. A formula for the minimum distance of these codes was conjectured in 2000 and after having been established in various special cases, it was proved in 2008 by…
In this article, we consider Schubert codes, linear codes associated to Schubert varieties, and discuss minimum weight codewords for dual Schubert codes. The notion of lines in Schubert varieties is looked closely at, and it has been proved…
A minimal presentation of the cohomology ring of the flag manifold $GL_n/B$ was given in [A. Borel, 1953]. This presentation was extended by [E. Akyildiz-A. Lascoux-P. Pragacz, 1992] to a non-minimal one for all Schubert varieties. Work of…
The number of low-weight codewords is critical to the performance of error-correcting codes. In 1970, Kasami and Tokura characterized the codewords of Reed-Muller (RM) codes whose weights are less than $2w_{\min}$, where $w_{\min}$…
We study the functional codes $C_h(X)$ defined by G. Lachaud in $\lbrack 10 \rbrack$ where $X \subset {\mathbb{P}}^N$ is an algebraic projective variety of degree $d$ and dimension $m$. When $X$ is a hermitian surface in $PG(3,q)$,…
We consider linear error correcting codes associated to higher dimensional projective varieties defined over a finite field. The problem of determining the basic parameters of such codes often leads to some interesting and difficult…
In 1970 Delsarte, Goethals and Mac Williams published a seminal paper on generalized Reed-Muller codes where, among many important results, they proved that the minimal weight codewords of these codes are obtained through the evaluation of…
Very recently, Heng et al. studied a family of extended primitive cyclic codes. It was shown that the supports of all codewords with any fixed nonzero Hamming weight of this code supporting 2-designs. In this paper, we study this family of…
Affine Cartesian codes were first discussed by Geil and Thomsen in 2013 in a broader framework and were formally introduced by L\'opez, Renter\'ia-M\'arquez and Villarreal in 2014. These are linear error-correcting codes obtained by…
We study the functional codes of order $h$ defined by G. Lachaud on $\mathcal{X} \subset {\mathbb{P}}^n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ a non-degenerate Hermitian variety. We give a condition of divisibility of the weights of the codewords. For…
The weight distribution of error correction codes is a critical determinant of their error-correcting performance, making enumeration of utmost importance. In the case of polar codes, the minimum weight $\wm$ (which is equal to minimum…
Minimal codes are a class of linear codes which gained interest in the last years, thanks to their connections to secret sharing schemes. In this paper we provide the weight distribution and the parameters of families of minimal codes…
We give an alternative proof of the formula for the minimum distance of a projective Reed-Muller code of an arbitrary order. It leads to a complete characterization of the minimum weight codewords of a projective Reed-Muller code. This is…
Permutation codes of length $n$ and distance $d$ is a set of permutations on $n$ symbols, where the distance between any two elements in the set is at least $d$. Subgroup permutation codes are permutation codes with the property that the…
We give a new proof of Delsarte, Goethals and Mac williams theorem on minimal weight codewords of generalized Reed-Muller codes published in 1970. To prove this theorem, we consider intersection of support of minimal weight codewords with…
Projective Reed-Muller codes were introduced by Lachaud, in 1988 and their dimension and minimum distance were determined by Serre and S{\o}rensen in 1991. In coding theory one is also interested in the higher Hamming weights, to study the…
Minimal codes are linear codes where all non-zero codewords are minimal, i.e., whose support is not properly contained in the support of another codeword. The minimum possible length of such a $k$-dimensional linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$…
We introduce a formula for determining the number of codewords of weight 2 in cyclic codes and provide results related to the count of codewords with weight 3. Additionally, we establish a recursive relationship for binary cyclic codes that…
In this paper, we study the codes $\mathcal C_k(n,q)$ arising from the incidence of points and $k$-spaces in $\text{PG}(n,q)$ over the field $\mathbb F_p$, with $q = p^h$, $p$ prime. We classify all codewords of minimum weight of the dual…
We describe the higher weights of the Grassmann codes $G(2,m)$ over finite fields ${\mathbb F}_q$ in terms of properties of Schubert unions, and in each case we determine the weight as the minimum of two explicit polynomial expressions in…
