Moduli spaces of 'generalized mutually unbiased bases'

Mutually unbiased bases in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with a chosen inner product are collections of orthonormal bases such that for each pair of orthonormal bases $e_i,f_i$, $i=1,\ldots,n$ we have $|\langle e_i, ...

List decodability of Reed-Solomon codes beyond the Johnson bound

In a paper on a proximity test for Reed-Solomon codes the authors state an "extremely optimistical" conjecture on the list decodability of Reed-Solomon codes (over prime fields $\mathbb F_q$)...

How many vectors of Hamming weight L in "random" K dimensional subspace of F_2^N ? Or how good/bad is random linear block code ?

Consider linear $N$-dimensional space $F_2^N$. Consider its $K$ dimensional subspace $V \subset F_2^N$. Let us calculate $w(k,V,N)$ number of vectors in $V$ of Hamming weight $k$ in $V$. Since there ...

Number of points on a complex sphere with pairwise inner product restriction

Considered the following inner products: $(1)$ $\langle x,y \rangle = \sum_{t=1}^{n}x_{t}y_{t}$ $(2)$ $\langle x,y \rangle_{c} = \sum_{t=1}^{n}x_{t}\bar{y}_{t}$ consider the following surfaces: $\...
