The order of the automorphism group of a binary qq-analog of the Fano plane is at most two

It is shown that the automorphism group of a binary $q$-analog of the Fano plane is either trivial or of order $2$.Comment: 10 page

Construction of Codes for Network Coding

Based on ideas of K\"otter and Kschischang we use constant dimension subspaces as codewords in a network. We show a connection to the theory of q-analogues of a combinatorial designs, which has been studied in Braun, Kerber and Laue as a purely combinatorial object. For the construction of network codes we successfully modified methods (construction with prescribed automorphisms) originally developed for the q-analogues of a combinatorial designs. We then give a special case of that method which allows the construction of network codes with a very large ambient space and we also show how to decode such codes with a very small number of operations

Tables of subspace codes

One of the main problems of subspace coding asks for the maximum possible cardinality of a subspace code with minimum distance at least $d$ over $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, where the dimensions of the codewords, which are vector spaces, are contained in $K\subseteq\{0,1,\dots,n\}$. In the special case of $K=\{k\}$ one speaks of constant dimension codes. Since this (still) emerging field is very prosperous on the one hand side and there are a lot of connections to classical objects from Galois geometry it is a bit difficult to keep or to obtain an overview about the current state of knowledge. To this end we have implemented an on-line database of the (at least to us) known results at \url{subspacecodes.uni-bayreuth.de}. The aim of this recurrently updated technical report is to provide a user guide how this technical tool can be used in research projects and to describe the so far implemented theoretic and algorithmic knowledge.Comment: 44 pages, 6 tables, 7 screenshot
