Algebraic Geometric codes on Hirzebruch surfaces.
Jade Nardi · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2018
We define a linear code $C_\eta(\delta_T,\delta_X)$ by evaluating polynomials of bidegree $(\delta_T,\delta_X)$ in the Cox ring on $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points of the Hirzebruch surface of parameter $\eta$ on the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We give explicit parameters of the code, notably using Gr\obner bases. The minimum distance provides an upper bound of the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points of a non-filling curve on a Hirzebruch surface. We also display some punctured codes having optimal parameters.
