Linear Codes Associated to Skew-symmetric Determinantal Varieties

Peter Beelen, Prasant Singh · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2018

In this article we consider linear codes coming from skew-symmetric determinantal varieties, which are defined by the vanishing of minors of a certain fixed size in the space of skew-symmetric matrices. In odd characteristic, the minimum distances of these codes are determined and a recursive formula for the weight of a general codeword in these codes is given.
