In this paper, we study the p-ary linear code Ck(n, q), q = ph, p prime, h >= 1, generated by the incidence matrix of points and k-dimensional spaces in PG(n, q). For k >= n/2, we link codewords of Ck(n, q)\Ck(n, q) of weight smaller than…

In this paper we completely characterize the words with second minimum weight in the $p-$ary linear code generated by the rows of the incidence matrix of points and hyperplanes of $PG(n,q)$, with $q=p^h$ and $p$ prime, proving that they are…

We investigate small weight code words of the $p$-ary linear code $\mathcal C_{j,k}(n,q)$ generated by the incidence matrix of $k$-spaces and $j$-spaces of PG$(n,q)$ and its dual, with $q$ a prime power and $0 \leq j < k < n$. Firstly, we…

The $p$-ary code associated with the incidence structure of points and $t$-spaces in a projective space $\mathrm{PG}(m,q)$, where $q=p^h$, is the $\mathbb{F}_p$-subspace generated by the incidence vectors of the blocks of this design. The…

Let $C_{n-1}(n,q)$ be the code arising from the incidence of points and hyperplanes in the Desarguesian projective space PG($n,q$). Recently, Polverino and Zullo proved that within this code, all non-zero code words of weight at most…

Over the past few years, the codes $\mathcal{C}_{n-1}(n,q)$ arising from the incidence of points and hyperplanes in the projective space $\text{PG}(n,q)$ attracted a lot of attention. In particular, small weight codewords of…

The minimum weight of the code generated by the incidence matrix of points versus lines in a projective plane has been known for over 50 years. Surprisingly, finding the minimum weight of the dual code of projective planes of non-prime…

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…

Let Ck(n, q) be the p-ary linear code defined by the incidence matrix of points and k-spaces in PG(n, q), q = p^h, p prime, h >= 1. In this pa- per, we show that there are no codewords of weight in the open interval ] q^{k+1}-1/q-1, 2q^k[…

The $p$-ary linear code $\mathcal C_{k}(n,q)$ is defined as the row space of the incidence matrix $A$ of $k$-spaces and points of $\text{PG}(n,q)$. It is known that if $q$ is square, a codeword of weight $q^k\sqrt{q}+\mathcal O \left(…

In this paper, we consider the unit graph $G(\mathbb{Z}_{n})$, where $n=p_{1}^{n_{1}} \text{ or } p_{1}^{n_{1}}p_{2}^{n_{2}} \text{ or } p_{1}^{n_{1}}p_{2}^{n_{2}}p_{3}^{n_{3}}$ and $p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3}$ are distinct primes. For any prime…

We characterise the minimum weight codewords of the $p$-ary linear code of intersecting lines in ${\rm PG}(3,q)$, $q=p^h$, $q\geq19$, $p$ prime, $h\geq 1$. If $q$ is even, the minimum weight equals $q^3+q^2+q+1$. If $q$ is odd, the minimum…

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a conic in the classical projective plane $PG(2,q)$, where $q$ is an odd prime power. With respect to $\mathcal{O}$, the lines of $PG(2,q)$ are classified as passant, tangent, and secant lines, and the points of…

In this paper we focus our attention on a family of finite geometry codes, called type-I projective geometry low-density parity-check (PG-LDPC) codes, that are constructed based on the projective planes PG{2,q). In particular, we study…

In this paper we consider two pointsets in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$ arising from a linear set $L$ of rank $n$ contained in a line of $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$: the first one is a linear blocking set of R\'edei type, the second one extends the…

Linear codes with a few weights are an important class of codes in coding theory and have attracted a lot of attention. In this paper, we present several constructions of $q$-ary linear codes with two or three weights from vectorial…

In [9], the codewords of small weight in the dual code of the code of points and lines of Q(4, q) are characterised. Inspired by this result, using geometrical arguments, we characterise the codewords of small weight in the dual code of the…

In this paper, we prove that the smallest even sets in ${\rm PG}(n,q)$, i.e. sets that intersect every line in an even number of points, are cylinders with a hyperoval as base. This fits into a more general study of dual projective…

We study the small weight codewords of the functional code C_2(Q), with Q a non-singular quadric of PG(N,q). We prove that the small weight codewords correspond to the intersections of Q with the singular quadrics of PG(N,q) consisting of…

We classify all $q$-ary $\Delta$-divisible linear codes which are spanned by codewords of weight $\Delta$. The basic building blocks are the simplex codes, and for $q=2$ additionally the first order Reed-Muller codes and the parity check…
