Higher Weights of Grassmann Codes

چکیده
Using a combinatorial approach to studying the hyperplane sections of Grassmannians, we give two new proofs of a result of Nogin concerning the higher weights of Grassmann codes. As a consequence, we obtain a bound on the number of higher dimensional subcodes of the Grassmann code having the minimum Hamming norm. We also discuss a generalization of Grassmann codes .

Higher Weights of Affine Grassmann Codes and Their Duals
We consider the question of determining the higher weights or the generalized Hamming weights of affine Grassmann codes and their duals. Several initial as well as terminal higher weights of affine Grassmann codes of an arbitrary level are determined explicitly. In the case of duals of these codes, we give a formula for many initial as well as terminal higher weights. As a special case, we obta...
متن کاملHigher weights of Grassmann codes in terms of properties of Schubert unions
We describe the higher weights of the Grassmann codes G(2, m) over finite fields Fq in terms of properties of Schubert unions, and in each case we determine the weight as the minimum of two explicit polynomial expressions in q.
متن کاملThe structure of dual Grassmann codes
In this article we study the duals of Grassmann codes, certain codes coming from the Grassmannian variety. Exploiting their structure, we are able to count and classify all their minimum weight codewords. In this classification the lines lying on the Grassmannian variety play a central role. Related codes, namely the affine Grassmann codes, were introduced more recently in [1], while their dual...
متن کاملDecomposable subspaces, linear sections of Grassmann varieties, and higher weights of Grassmann codes
Given a homogeneous component of an exterior algebra, we characterize those subspaces in which every nonzero element is decomposable. In geometric terms, this corresponds to characterizing the projective linear subvarieties of the Grassmann variety with its Plücker embedding. When the base field is finite, we consider the more general question of determining the maximum number of points on sect...
متن کاملSchubert unions in Grassmann varieties
We study subsets of Grassmann varieties G(l, m) over a field F , such that these subsets are unions of Schubert cycles, with respect to a fixed flag. We study the linear spans of, and in case of positive characteristic, the number of Fq-rational points on such unions. Moreover we study a geometric duality of such unions, and give a combinatorial interpretation of this duality. We discuss the ma...
