Group Ring Ideals Related to Reed–Muller Codes

详细

Reed–Muller codes are one of the most well-studied families of codes; however, there are till open problems regarding their structure. Recently a new ring-theoretic approach has emerged that provides a rather intuitive construction of these codes. This approach is centered around the notion of basic Reed–Muller codes. It is known that basic Reed–Muller codes ℳ_π(m, k) over a prime field are powers of the radical RS of a corresponding group algebra and over a nonprime field there are no such equalities, except for trivial ones. In this paper, we consider the ideals ℜ_Sℳ_π(m, k) that arise while studying the inclusions of the basic codes and radical powers.
