A nontrivial algebraic cycle in the Jacobian variety of the Klein quartic

We prove some value of the harmonic volume for the Klein quartic C is nonzero modulo , using special values of the generalized hypergeometric function ₃ F ₂. This result tells us the algebraic cycle C − C ⁻ is not algebraically equivalent to zero in the Jacobian variety J(C).      

Parameters of the codes over affine varieties

We derive a lower bound of the generalized Hamming weights of the codes over affine varieties, which are defined by appropriate sequences of rational polynomials over varieties.     

Equivariant deformations of the affine multicone over a flag variety

We prove that the invariant Hilbert scheme parameterising the equivariant deformations of the affine multicone over a flag variety is, under certain hypotheses, an affine space. More specifically, we obtain that the isomorphism classes of equivariant deformations of such a multicone are in correspondence with the orbits of a well-determined wonderful variety.     

On LCD,self dual and isodual cyclic codes over finite chain rings

In this paper, LCD cyclic, self dual and isodual codes over finite chain rings are investigated. It was proven recently that a non-free LCD cyclic code does not exist over finite chain rings. Based on algebraic number theory, we introduce necessary and sufficient conditions for which all free cyclic codes over a finite chain ring are LCD. We have also obtained conditions on the existence of non trivial self dual cyclic codes of any length when the nilpotency index of the maximal ideal of a finite chain ring is even. Further, several constructions of isodual codes are given based on the factorization of the polynomial $x^n-1$ over a finite chain ring.     

From Klein to Painleve Via Fourier, Laplace and Jimbo

We describe a method for constructing explicit algebraic solutionsto the sixth Painlevé equation, generalising that ofDubrovin and Mazzocco. There are basically two steps. Firstwe explain how to construct finite braid group orbits of triplesof elements of SL₂(C) out of triples of generators of three-dimensionalcomplex reflection groups. (This involves the Fourier–Laplacetransform for certain irregular connections.) Then we adapta result of Jimbo to produce the Painlevé VI solutions.(In particular, this solves a Riemann–Hilbert problemexplicitly.) Each step is illustrated using the complex reflection groupassociated to Klein's simple group of order 168. This leadsto a new algebraic solution with seven branches. We also provethat, unlike the algebraic solutions of Dubrovin and Mazzoccoand Hitchin, this solution is not equivalent to any solutioncoming from a finite subgroup of SL₂(C). The results of this paper also yield a simple proof of a recenttheorem of Inaba, Iwasaki and Saito on the action of Okamoto'saffine D₄ symmetry group as well as the correct connection formulaefor generic Painlevé VI equations. 2000 Mathematics SubjectClassification 34M55, 34M40, 20F55.     

Defining sets of extended cyclic codes invariant under the affine group

We describe the defining sets of extended cyclic codes of length pⁿ over a field and over the ring of integers modulo p^e admitting the affine group AGL_m(p^t), n=mt, as a permutation group.     

On orbits of the automorphism group on an affine toric variety

Let X be an affine toric variety. The total coordinates on X provide a canonical presentation $\bar X \to X$ of X as a quotient of a vector space $\bar X$ by a linear action of a quasitorus. We prove that the orbits of the connected component of the automorphism group Aut(X) on X coincide with the Luna strata defined by the canonical quotient presentation.     

On the classification of linear complementary dual codes

We give a complete classification of binary linear complementary dual codes of lengths up to 13 and ternary linear complementary dual codes of lengths up to 10.     

Hamming spaces and maximal self dual codes over GF(q), q=ODD

The group of automorphisms of a Hamming space is determined. Self dual codes over odd characteristic finite field with respect to bilinear forms are treated. Under the subgroup of the monomial group preserving the inner product, we classify the maximal self dual codes overGF(5) with respect to the inner product of dimension ≤8. The Hamming Weight distribution and the order of the automorphism of the code are given. Partially supported by NSERC A8460 and Scarborough College.     

The dual of a constacyclic code,self dual,reversible constacyclic codes and constacyclic codes with complementary duals over finite local Frobenius non-chain rings with nilpotency index 3

Over finite local Frobenius non-chain rings with nilpotency index 3 and when the length of the codes is relatively prime to the characteristic of the residue field of the ring, the structure of the dual of $\gamma$-constacyclic codes is established and the algebraic characterization of self-dual $\gamma$-constacyclic codes, reversible $\gamma$-constacyclic codes and $\gamma$-constacyclic codes with complementary dual are given. Generators for the dual code are obtained from those of the original constacyclic code.     

Perfect codes from the dual point of view I

The two concepts dual code and parity check matrix for a linear perfect 1-error correcting binary code are generalized to the case of non-linear perfect codes. We show how this generalization can be used to enumerate some particular classes of perfect 1-error correcting binary codes. We also use it to give an answer to a problem of Avgustinovich: whether or not the kernel of every perfect 1-error correcting binary code is always contained in some Hamming code.
