Dual Codes of Translation Planes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We improve on the known upper bound for the minimum weight of the dual codes of translation planes of certain orders by providing a general construction of words of small weight. We use this construction to suggest a possible formula for the minimum weight of the dual p-ary code of the desarguesian plane of order pm for any prime p and any m ≥ 1.

Planar Functions and Planes of Lenz-Barlotti Class II
Planar functions were introduced by Dembowski and Ostrom ([4]) to describe projective planes possessing a collineation group with particular properties. Several classes of planar functions over a finite field are described, including a class whose associated affine planes are not translation planes or dual translation planes. This resolves in the negative a question posed in [4]. These planar f...
متن کاملAn upper bound for the minimum weight of the dual codes of desarguesian planes
We show that a construction described in Clark, Key and de Resmini [9] of small-weight words in the dual codes of finite translation planes can be extended so that it applies to projective and affine desarguesian planes of any order p where p is a prime, and m ≥ 1. This gives words of weight 2p + 1 − p −1 p−1 in the dual of the p-ary code of the desarguesian plane of order p, and provides an im...
متن کاملTranslation Planes and Derivation Sets
Using ideas from algebraic coding theory, a general notion of a derivation set for a pro-jective plane is introduced. Certain geometric codes are used to locate such sets. These codes also lead to upper bounds for the pranks of incidence matrices of translation planes in terms of the dimensions of the associated codes.
متن کاملTernary dual codes of the planes of order nine
We determine the minimum weight of the ternary dual codes of each of the four projective planes of order 9, and of the seven affine planes of order 9. The proof includes a construction of a word of small, sometimes minimal, weight in the dual code of any plane of square order containing a Baer subplane. Dedicated to S. S. Shrikhande
متن کاملOrthomorphisms and the construction of projective planes
We discuss a simple computational method for the construction of finite projective planes. The planes so constructed all possess a special group of automorphisms which we call the group of translations, but they are not always translation planes. Of the four planes of order 9, three admit the additive group of the field GF (9) as a group of translations, and the present construction yields all ...
