We define additive skew G-codes over finite fields and discuss several dualities attached to these codes. We examine the properties of self-dual skew G-codes and in particular we show that the dual, under any duality, of an additive skew G-code is also an additive skew G-code. Additionally, we propose a matrix construction for additive skew G-codes and use it to construct several examples of extremal self-dual additive skew G-codes over the finite field F 4 . Such codes have a strong connection to quantum error correcting codes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, we study codes generated by elements that come from group matrix rings. We present a matrix construction which we use to generate codes in two different ambient spaces: the matrix ring M k (R) and the ring R, where R is the commutative Frobenius ring. We show that codes over the ring M k (R) are one sided ideals in the group matrix ring M k (R) G and the corresponding codes over the ring R are G k -codes of length kn. Additionally, we give a generator matrix for self-dual codes, which consist of the mentioned above matrix construction. We employ this generator matrix to search for binary self-dual codes with parameters [72, 36, 12] and find new singly-even and doubly-even codes of this type. In particular, we construct 16 new Type I and 4 new Type II binary [72, 36, 12] self-dual codes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study additive codes with 1-rank hulls and examine their properties for various dualities of the finite field of order 4. We give several constructions of additive and linear codes with 1-rank hulls. We also relate these codes to additive complementary dual codes (ACD). We give an interesting non-existence result for additive codes with a 1-rank hull for the duality M2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$M_2$$\end{document} in terms of the parity of the number of generators. We conclude by giving substantive computations finding codes with one-rank hulls for small lengths using our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study dihedral codes with 1-dimensional hulls and we determine precisely when dihedral codes over finite fields with 1-dimensional hulls exist. Moreover, we show that these codes come canonically in pairs. We also introduce 1-dimensional linear complementary pairs of dihedral codes and examine the properties of this class of codes. As an application, we obtain 1-dimensional linear complementary pair of dihedral codes, which are either optimal or near optimal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
