In this work, we present a standard model for Galois rings based on the standard model of their residual fields, that is, a sequence of Galois rings starting with ${\mathbb Z}_{p^r} that coves all the Galois rings with that characteristic ring and such that there is an algorithm producing each member of the sequence whose input is the size of the required ring.
We consider codes defined over an affine algebra $\mathcal A=R[X_1,\dots,X_r]/\left\langle t_1(X_1),\dots,t_r(X_r)\right\rangle$, where $t_i(X_i)$ is a monic univariate polynomial over a finite commutative chain ring $R$. Namely, we study the $\mathcal A-$submodules of $\mathcal A^l$ ($l\in \mathbb{N}$). These codes generalize both the codes over finite quotients of polynomial rings and the multivariable codes over finite chain rings. {Some codes over Frobenius local rings that are not chain rings are also of this type}. A canonical generator matrix for these codes is introduced with the help of the Canonical Generating System. Duality of the codes is also considered.
In this work, we study the structure of multivariable modular codes over finite chain rings when the ambient space is a principal ideal ring. We also provide some applications to additive modular codes over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_4$.
