Association schemes related to universally optimal configurations, Kerdock codes and extremal Euclidean line-sets
H. Cohn et. al. proposed an association scheme of 64 points in R^{14} which
is conjectured to be a universally optimal code. We show that this scheme has a
generalization in terms of Kerdock codes, as well as in terms of maximal real
mutually unbiased bases. These schemes also related to extremal line-sets in
Euclidean spaces and Barnes-Wall lattices. D. de Caen and E. R. van Dam
constructed two infinite series of formally dual 3-class association schemes.
We explain this formal duality by constructing two dual abelian schemes related
to quaternary linear Kerdock and Preparata codes.Comment: 16 page
A class of narrow-sense BCH codes over of length
BCH codes with efficient encoding and decoding algorithms have many
applications in communications, cryptography and combinatorics design. This
paper studies a class of linear codes of length over
with special trace representation, where is an odd prime
power. With the help of the inner distributions of some subsets of association
schemes from bilinear forms associated with quadratic forms, we determine the
weight enumerators of these codes. From determining some cyclotomic coset
leaders of cyclotomic cosets modulo , we prove
that narrow-sense BCH codes of length with designed distance
have the corresponding trace representation, and have the
minimal distance and the Bose distance , where
