Ring geometries, two-weight codes, and strongly regular graphs

چکیده
It is known that a linear two-weight code C over a finite field Fq corresponds both to a multiset in a projective space over Fq that meets every hyperplane in either a or b points for some integers a < b , and to a strongly regular graph whose vertices may be identified with the codewords of C . Here we extend this classical result to the case of a ring-linear code with exactly two nonzero homogeneous weights and multisets of points in an associated projective ring geometry. We will show that a two-weight code over a finite Frobenius ring gives rise to a strongly regular graph, and we will give some constructions of two-weight codes using ring geometries. These examples all yield infinite families of strongly regular graphs with non-trivial parameters.

The Geometry of Homogeneous Two-Weight Codes
The results of [1, 2] on linear homogeneous two-weight codes over finite Frobenius rings are exended in two ways: It is shown that certain non-projective two-weight codes give rise to strongly regular graphs in the way described in [1, 2]. Secondly, these codes are used to define a dual two-weight code and strongly regular graph similar to the classical case of projective linear two-weight code...
متن کاملConstructing two-weight codes with prescribed groups of automorphisms
We are interested in the construction of linear [n, k; q] two-weight codes. A linear code is a k−dimensional subspaceC of the n−dimensional vector spaceGF (q) over the finite fieldGF (q) with q elements. The q codewords of length n are the elements of the subspace, they are written as row vectors. The weight of a codeword c is the number of nonzero components of the vector c ∈ GF (q). In the ca...
متن کاملSpreads in Strongly Regular Graphs
A spread of a strongly regular graph is a partition of the vertex set into cliques that meet Delsarte's bound (also called Hoffman's bound). Such spreads give rise to colorings meeting Hoffman's lower bound for the chromatic number and to certain imprimitive three-class association schemes. These correspondences lead to conditions for existence. Most examples come from spreads and fans in (part...
متن کاملTwo-weight codes, graphs and orthogonal arrays
We investigate properties of two-weight codes over finite Frobenius rings, giving constructions for the modular case. A δ-modular code [15] is characterized as having a generator matrix where each column g appears with multiplicity δ|gR×| for some δ ∈ Q. Generalizing [10] and [5], we show that the additive group of a two-weight code satisfying certain constraint equations (and in particular a m...
متن کاملIdentifying Codes in Vertex-Transitive Graphs and Strongly Regular Graphs
We consider the problem of computing identifying codes of graphs and its fractional relaxation. The ratio between the size of optimal integer and fractional solutions is between 1 and 2 ln(|V |) + 1 where V is the set of vertices of the graph. We focus on vertex-transitive graphs for which we can compute the exact fractional solution. There are known examples of vertex-transitive graphs that re...
