Abstract

In this paper, we study linear codes over Zk\mathbb{Z}_k based on lattices and theta functions. We obtain the complete weight enumerators MacWilliams identity and the symmetrized weight enumerators MacWilliams identity based on the theory of theta function. We extend the main work by Bannai, Dougherty, Harada and Oura to the finite ring Zk\mathbb{Z}_k for any positive integer kk and present the complete weight enumerators MacWilliams identity in genus gg. When k=pk=p is a prime number, we establish the relationship between the theta function of associated lattices over a cyclotomic field and the complete weight enumerators with Hamming weight of codes, which is an analogy of the results by G. Van der Geer and F. Hirzebruch since they showed the identity with the Lee weight enumerators.
