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…

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…

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…

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…

In this paper we present several values for the next-to-minimal weights of projective Reed-Muller codes. We work over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q \geq 3$ since in IEEE-IT 62(11) p. 6300-6303 (2016) we have determined the complete values for the…

Recent results of Bourgain and Shparlinski imply that for almost all primes $p$ there is a multiple $mp$ that can be written in binary as $mp= 1+2^{m_1}+ \cdots +2^{m_k}, \quad 1\leq m_1 < \cdots < m_k,$ with $k=66$ or $k=16$, respectively.…

Linear codes have been an interesting topic in both theory and practice for many years. In this paper, for an odd prime $p$, we present the explicit complete weight enumerator of a family of $p$-ary linear codes constructed with defining…

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…

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…

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…

Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $(\frac{\cdot}p)$ be the Legendre symbol. Let $b\in\mathbb Z$ and $\varepsilon\in\{\pm 1\}$. We mainly prove that $$\left|\left\{N_p(a,b):\ 1<a<p\ \text{and}\ \left(\frac…

We study the constant $\mathscr{C}_p$ defined as the smallest constant $C$ such that $|f(0)|^p \leq C\|f\|_p^p$ holds for every function $f$ in the Paley-Wiener space $PW^p$. Brevig, Chirre, Ortega-Cerd\`a, and Seip have recently shown that…

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(…

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…

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…

Let p>3 be an odd prime and m be a positive integer. Little progress on the study of optimal p-ary cyclic codes with parameters [p^m-1,p^m-2m-2,4] has been made.In this paper, by weakening the necessary and sufficient conditions on cyclic…

Toric codes are a type of evaluation code introduced by J.P. Hansen in 2000. They are produced by evaluating (a vector space composed by) polynomials at the points of $(\mathbb{F}_q^*)^s$, the monomials of these polynomials being related to…

Linear codes with few weights have been a significant area of research in coding theory for many years, due to their applications in secret sharing schemes, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. Inspired by…

A conjectural formula for the minimum weight of Schubert codes was conjectured by Ghorpade in 2000. This was established by Xiang in 2008. In 2018, Ghorpade and Singh provided a new proof of this conjecture. Moreover, they also conjectured…

We provide numerical evidence towards three conjectures on harmonic numbers by Eswarathasan--Levine and Boyd. Let $J_p$ denote the set of integers $n\geq 1$ such that the harmonic number $H_n$ is divisible by a prime $p$. The conjectures…
