Cocyclic butson Hadamard matrices and codes over Zn via the trace map

Over the past couple of years, trace maps over Galois fields and Galois rings have been used very succesfully o construct cocyclic Hadamard, complex Hadamard and Butson Hadamard matrices and subsequently to generate simplex codes over Z4, Z2 and ZP and new linear codes over ZP. Here we define a new map, the trace-like map and more generally the weighted map and extend these techniques to construct cocyclic Budson Hadamard matrices of order (nm) for all n and m and linear and non-linear codes over Zn

Properties of trace maps and their applications to coding theory

In this thesis we study the application of trace maps over Galois fields and Galois rings in the construction of non-binary linear and non-linear codes and mutually unbiased bases. Properties of the trace map over the Galois fields and Galois rings has been used very successfully in the construction of cocyclic Hadamard, complex Hadamard and Butson Hadamard matrices and consequently to construct linear codes over integers modulo prime and prime powers. These results provide motivation to extend this work to construct codes over integers modulo . The prime factorization of integers paved the way to focus our attention on the direct product of Galois rings and Galois fields of the same degree. We define a new map over the direct product of Galois rings and Galois fields by using the usual trace maps. We study the fundamental properties of the this map and notice that these are very similar to that of the trace map over Galois rings and Galois fields. As such this map called the trace-like map and is used to construct cocyclic Butson Hadamard matrices and consequently to construct linear codes over integers modulo . We notice that the codes construct in this way over the integers modulo 6 is simplex code of type . A further generalization of the trace-like map called the weighted-trace map is defined over the direct product of Galois rings and Galois fields of different degrees. We use the weighted-trace map to construct some non-linear codes and mutually unbiased bases of odd integer dimensions. Further more we study the distribution of over the Galois fields of degree 2 and use it to construct 2-dimensional, two-weight, self-orthogonal codes and constant weight codes over integers modulo prime

New linear codes over Zps via the trace map

The trace map has been used very successfully to generate cocyclic complex and Butson Hadamard matrices and simplex codes over Z4 and Z2s. We extend this technique to obtain new linear codes over Zps. It is worth nothing here that these codes are cocyclic but not simplex codes. Further we find that the construction method also gives Butson Hadamard matrices of order psm

Cocyclic simplex codes of type alpha over Z4 and Z2s

Over the past decade, cocycles have been used to construct Hadamard and generalized Hadamard matrices. This, in turn, has led to the construction of codes-self-dual and others. Here we explore these ideas further to construct cocyclic complex and Butson-Hadamard matrices, and subsequently we use the matrices to construct simplex codes of type /spl alpha/ over Z(4) and Z(2/sup s/), respectively

Distribution of trace values and two-weight, self-orthogonal codes over GF (p,2)

The uniform distribution of the trace map lends itself very well to the construction of binary and non-binary codes from Galois fields and Galois rings. In this paper we study the distribution of the trace map with the argument ax 2 over the Galois field GF(p,2). We then use this distribution to construct two-weight, self-orthogonal, trace codes
