Extension theorems for various weight functions over Frobenius bimodules

Extension Theorems for Various Weight Functions over Frobenius Bimodules

In this paper we study codes where the alphabet is a finite Frobenius bimodule over a finite ring. We discuss the extension property for various weight functions. Employing an entirely character-theoretic approach and a duality theory for partitions on Frobenius bimodules we derive alternative proofs for the facts that the Hamming weight and the homogeneous weight satisfy the extension property...

The Extension Theorem for Bi-invariant Weights over Frobenius Rings and Frobenius Bimodules

We give a sufficient condition for a bi-invariant weight on a Frobenius bimodule to satisfy the extension property. This condition applies to bi-invariant weights on a finite Frobenius ring as a special case. The complex-valued functions on a Frobenius bimodule are viewed as a module over the semigroup ring of the multiplicative semigroup of the coefficient ring.

Witt Theorems for Linear Codes over Finite Frobenius Rings

On quasi-Frobenius bimodules and corings

Frobenius bimodules are connected with Frobenius algebras and extensions. For instance, a ring extension φ : R → S is a Frobenius extension if and only if RSS is a Frobenius bimodule [1]. Brzeziński and Gómez-Torrecillas studied in [4] certain properties of comatrix corings in relation to properties of bimodules. In particular they showed that the comatrix coring [6] induced by any Frobenius bi...

Extension Theorems for Linear Codes over Finite Rings

Various forms of the extension problem are discussed for linear codes de ned over nite rings. The extension theorem for symmetrized weight compositions over nite Frobenius rings is proved. As a consequence, an extension theorem for weight functions over certain nite commutative rings is also proved. The proofs make use of the linear independence of characters as well as the linear independence ...
