On the Residue Codes of Extremal Type II Z4-Codes of Lengths 32 and 40
In this paper, we determine the dimensions of the residue codes of extremal
Type II Z4-codes for lengths 32 and 40. We demonstrate that every binary doubly
even self-dual code of length 32 can be realized as the residue code of some
extremal Type II Z4-code. It is also shown that there is a unique extremal Type
II Z4-code of length 32 whose residue code has the smallest dimension 6 up to
equivalence. As a consequence, many new extremal Type II Z4-codes of lengths 32
and 40 are constructed.Comment: 19 page
Residue codes of extremal Type II Z_4-codes and the moonshine vertex operator algebra
In this paper, we study the residue codes of extremal Type II Z_4-codes of
length 24 and their relations to the famous moonshine vertex operator algebra.
The main result is a complete classification of all residue codes of extremal
Type II Z_4-codes of length 24. Some corresponding results associated to the
moonshine vertex operator algebra are also discussed.Comment: 21 pages, shortened from v
Self-Dual Codes
Self-dual codes are important because many of the best codes known are of
this type and they have a rich mathematical theory. Topics covered in this
survey include codes over F_2, F_3, F_4, F_q, Z_4, Z_m, shadow codes, weight
enumerators, Gleason-Pierce theorem, invariant theory, Gleason theorems,
bounds, mass formulae, enumeration, extremal codes, open problems. There is a
comprehensive bibliography.Comment: 136 page
