How to count the number of tensors over a finite field of tensor rank $r$?

For simplicity, work over $\mathbb F_2$ and only consider order-$3$ equilateral tensors. For $r\in\mathbb Z_{>0}$, how many tensors $\mathfrak{T}\in\mathsf{Ten}_{n}^{\otimes 3}(\mathbb F_2)$ are ...

When are Hamming codes cyclic?

I've asked this question on math.stackexchange before, but it has not been solved. The following statement appears to be true: The $q$-ary Hamming code of codimension $r$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is ...

Differential duality: Triangular codes vs. VT codes / Single-substitution vs. Single-deletion

Here is the introduction to my problem: Codes correcting single-deletion. Let $q$ and $n$ be non-negative integers, and let $\mathbf{x}= \left ( x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n} \right )\in\mathbb{Z}_{q}^{...

On weight enumerators of codes

Are there $[n,k]_q$ constant rate $\frac kn$ and constant alphabet linear code families with automorphism group of size $\Omega((n-n^\beta)!)$ that have minimum distance $d=O(n^\alpha)$ and number of ...

Low-Hamming weight vectors in low-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_p^n$

What is the maximum number vectors of Hamming weight at most $w$ in a $d$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{F}_p^n$, where $w,d,p$ are constant and $p$ is odd. (The Hamming weight is the number of ...

Inner product over finite field

sorry for informals but is my first post. In Coding theory (exactly in Coding theory a first course - San ling and Chaoping) found this definition: $\langle , \rangle :\mathbb{F}_q^n\times\mathbb{F}_q^...

Counting special metrics on finite fields

Define a Galois coding norm of degree n as a map $|\space| : \Bbb F_{2^n}\rightarrow {\Bbb Z}$ with the following properties : (I) $(\Bbb F_{2^n},|\space|)$ is a self-orthogonal code ; i.e. $(x,y)\...

Polynomial existence over finite field

Denote $\mathcal{F_n}$ as collection of multiaffine polynomials $f\in\Bbb F_2[x_1,\dots,x_n]$. Denote total degree of $f\in\mathcal{F_n}$ as $deg(f)$ (note $deg(f)\leq n$). Denote $e_i=(0,\dots,0,\...

Does the Plotkin bound mean that one can not achieve the Singleton bound asymptotically?

I am a little confused with the relationship between various bounds for error correcting codes. Does the Plotkin bound mean that one can not achieve the Singleton bound asymptotically? That is, is ...
