Multiplication by polynomials x^2+1 ; x^2+x+1. Does minimal Hamming norm of image equal to 5 ?

Yes. Without loss of generality, we can assume $p(x)$ is not divisible by $x$. Then $p(x)(x^2+1)$ and $p(x)(x^2+x+1)$ both have constant term $1$, so the combined Hamming weight is at least $4$ from …

covering by spherical caps

There exist coverings such that each point is covered at most $400 d \log d$ times, and you can improve this bound a little if you look at the covering density, i.e., the average number of times each …
