Self-dual codes over F5 and s-extremal unimodular lattices

New s-extremal extremal unimodular lattices in dimensions 38, 40, 42 and 44 are constructed from self-dual codes over ${\mathbb{F}}_5$ by Construction A. In the process of constructing these codes, we obtain a self-dual $[44,22,14]$ code over ${\mathbb{F}}_5$. In addition, the code implies a $[43,22,13]$ code over ${\mathbb{F}}_5$. These codes have larger minimum weights than the previously known $[44,22]$ codes and $[43,22]$ codes, respectively.     

Self-dual codes over \mathbb{Z}_8 and \mathbb{Z}_9

We study self-dual codes over the rings and . We define various weights and weight enumerators over these rings and describe the groups of invariants for each weight enumerator over the rings. We examine the torsion codes over these rings to describe the structure of self-dual codes. Finally we classify self-dual codes of small lengths over .     

On self-dual codes over {\mathbb{F}}_5

The purpose of this paper is to improve the upper bounds of the minimum distances of self-dual codes over for lengths [22, 26, 28, 32–40]. In particular, we prove that there is no [22, 11, 9] self-dual code over , whose existence was left open in 1982. We also show that both the Hamming weight enumerator and the Lee weight enumerator of a putative [24, 12, 10] self-dual code over are unique. Using the building-up construction, we show that there are exactly nine inequivalent optimal self-dual [18, 9, 7] codes over up to the monomial equivalence, and construct one new optimal self-dual [20, 10, 8] code over and at least 40 new inequivalent optimal self-dual [22, 11, 8] codes.      

Cyclic codes over $${{\mathbb{F}}_2+u{\mathbb{F}}_2+v{\mathbb{F}}_2+uv{\mathbb{F}}_2}$$

In this work, we focus on cyclic codes over the ring \mathbbF₂+u\mathbbF₂+v\mathbbF₂+uv\mathbbF₂{{{\mathbb{F}}_2+u{\mathbb{F}}_2+v{\mathbb{F}}_2+uv{\mathbb{F}}_2}} , which is not a finite chain ring. We use ideas from group rings and works of AbuAlrub et.al. in (Des Codes Crypt 42:273–287, 2007) to characterize the ring (\mathbbF₂+u\mathbbF₂+v\mathbbF₂+uv\mathbbF₂)/(xⁿ-1){({{\mathbb{F}}_2+u{\mathbb{F}}_2+v{\mathbb{F}}_2+uv{\mathbb{F}}_2})/(x^n-1)} and cyclic codes of odd length. Some good binary codes are obtained as the images of cyclic codes over \mathbbF₂+u\mathbbF₂+v\mathbbF₂+uv\mathbbF₂{{{\mathbb{F}}_2+u{\mathbb{F}}_2+v{\mathbb{F}}_2+uv{\mathbb{F}}_2}} under two Gray maps that are defined. We also characterize the binary images of cyclic codes over \mathbbF₂+u\mathbbF₂+v\mathbbF₂+uv\mathbbF₂{{{\mathbb{F}}_2+u{\mathbb{F}}_2+v{\mathbb{F}}_2+uv{\mathbb{F}}_2}} in general.

The dual code of any (δ+αu2)-constacyclic code over F2m[u]∕〈u4〉 of oddly even length

Let ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}$ be a finite field of cardinality $2^m$, $R={\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}\left[u\right]∕〈u^4〉={\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}+u{\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}+u^2{\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}+u^3{\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}$ $(u^4=0)$ which is a finite chain ring, and $n$ is an odd positive integer. For any $\delta ,\alpha \in {\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}^{\times }$, an explicit representation for the dual code of any $(\delta +\alpha u^2)$-constacyclic code over $R$ of length $2n$ is given. And some dual codes of $(1+u^2)$-constacyclic codes over $R$ of length 14 are constructed. For the case of $\delta =1$, all distinct self-dual $(1+\alpha u^2)$-constacyclic codes over $R$ of length $2n$ are determined.     

On Linear Codes over $${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^{s}}$$

In an earlier paper the authors studied simplex codes of type α and β over and obtained some known binary linear and nonlinear codes as Gray images of these codes. In this correspondence, we study weight distributions of simplex codes of type α and β over The generalized Gray map is then used to construct binary codes. The linear codes meet the Griesmer bound and a few non-linear codes are obtained that meet the Plotkin/Johnson bound. We also give the weight hierarchies of the first order Reed-Muller codes over The above codes are also shown to satisfy the chain condition.A part of this paper is contained in his Ph.D. Thesis from IIT Kanpur, India

On some constacyclic codes over $$\mathbb {Z}_{4}\left[ u\right] /\left\langle u^{2}-1\right\rangle $$, their $$\mathbb {Z}_4$$Z4 images,and new codes

In this paper, we study \(\lambda \)-constacyclic codes over the ring \(R=\mathbb {Z}_4+u\mathbb {Z}_4\) where \(u^{2}=1\), for \(\lambda =3+2u\) and \(2+3u\). Two new Gray maps from R to \(\mathbb {Z}_4^{3}\) are defined with the goal of obtaining new linear codes over \(\mathbb {Z}_4\). The Gray images of \(\lambda \)-constacyclic codes over R are determined. We then conducted a computer search and obtained many \(\lambda \)-constacyclic codes over R whose \(\mathbb {Z}_4\)-images have better parameters than currently best-known linear codes over \(\mathbb {Z}_4\).

It is conjectured that there should be Nine more constructions of the Leech lattice
