Abstract

We study Schubert subspace codes, which are constant-dimension subspace codes with prescribed intersection conditions with a fixed subspace. Our goal is to construct codes of maximum possible size in the extremal distance cases where a natural counting upper bound applies. We give two families of constructions. The first one uses a direct-sum decomposition of the ambient space, together with partial spreads and colorings of powers of $q$-Johnson graphs. For this construction, we also prove necessary conditions, which show how chromatic and clique obstructions arise. The second family is obtained by field reduction from evasive and scattered subspaces over extension fields. This gives codes whose size can be computed exactly in the scattered case and recovers the only previously known construction as a special case.

Generalized Hamming weights of codes arising from complete intersection

We provide a positive answer to a conjecture proposed by Toh\v{a}neanu and Van Tuyl regarding the minimum distance of codes whose underlying set of points is a reduced complete intersection. Despite the technical nature of the conjecture, we show that it follows directly from a not-well-known refinement of the classica...

Generalized spectral bound for quasi-twisted codes

Minimum distance bounds play a central role in the analysis of algebraic codes. For cyclic and constacyclic codes, several bounds based on their zero set have been developed. However, analogous results for quasi-twisted (QT) codes are comparatively limited. In this paper, we further investigate the spectral theory of Q...

Constructing linear codes from digraphs and groups

This paper investigates both the algebraic, and combinatorial properties of these constructions of graph codes and digraph codes and shows that they possess the same desirable attributes as Cayley codes, but with added freedom.

Upper bounds on the length of quasi-MDS codes

We study upper bounds on the length of $\mathbb F_q$-linear QMDS codes in the folded Hamming distance relative to their other parameters, especially the field size $q$. Via a correspondence between such codes and families of subspaces, we relate the length problem to that of upper bounding $1$-subspace packings with re...

Efficient Polynomial-Time Decoding of Simplicial Anticodes with Near-Optimal Performance

In this work, we propose an efficient decoding algorithm for codes arising from simplicial complexes, a family of binary linear codes for which no decoding method of this type was previously known. Although the algorithm does not always attain the maximum theoretical error-correcting capability, it provides an explicit...
