Macaulay, Lazard and the Syndrome Variety
Michela Ceria · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2019
In this paper we consider the four syndrom varieties ${\sf Z}_e^\times$, i.e. the set of all error locations corresponding to errors of weight $w, 0\leq w\leq 2$, ${\sf Z}_{ns}^\times$ , the set of all {\em non spurious} error locations corresponding to errors of weight $w, 0\leq w\leq 2$, ${\sf Z}_+^\times $, the set of all non-spurious error locations corresponding to errors of weight $w, 1\leq w\leq 2$, ${\sf Z}_2^\times $, the set of all non-spurious error locations corresponding to errors of weight $w= 2$, associated to an up-to-two errors correcting binary cyclic codes. Denoting $J_\ast:=\mathcal{I}({\sf Z}_\ast)$, the ideal of these syndrome varieties, ${\sf N}_\ast := {\bf N}(J_\ast)$ the \GR\ escalier of $J_\ast$ w.r.t. the lex ordering with $x_1
