Obtaining binary perfect codes out of tilings

A tiling of the $n$-dimensional Hamming cube gives rise to a perfect code (according to a given metric) if the basic tile is a metric ball. We are concerned with metrics on the $n$-dimensional Hamming cube which are determined by a weight which respects support of vectors (TS-metrics). We consider the known tilings of the Hamming cube and first determine which of them give rise to a perfect code. In the sequence, for those tilings that satisfy this condition, we determine all the TS-metrics that turns it into a perfect code. We also propose the construction of new perfect codes obtained by the concatenation of two smaller ones.

Metrics which turn tilings into binary perfect codes

In this work, we consider tilings of the Hamming cube and look for metrics which turn the tilings into a perfect code. We consider the family of metrics which are determined by a weight and are compatible with the support of vectors (TS-metrics). We determine which of the tilings with small tiles or high rank can be a perfect code for some TS-metric and we characterize all such metrics. Finally, we show some procedures to obtain new perfect codes (relatively to TS-metrics) out of existing ones.

Equivalence classes of small tilings of the Hamming cube

The study of tilings is a major problem in many mathematical instances, which is studied in two main different approaches: when considering the existence (or obstructions to the existence) of a tiling with a given tile and the other considering classification of tilings. Considering the Hamming cube $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, the small tilings, that is, tilings considering tiles with $8=2^3$ elements, were classified in \cite{vardy}. The authors list a total of $193$ different tiles. As the authors noted, many of those tiles can be obtained one from the other by a linear map. In this work, we are concerned with a particular class of linear maps, the class of permutations of coordinates. This is of interest since a permutation is an isometry of the Hamming cube, considering the Hamming metric. We show here that, up to an isometry, all those $193$ tiles can be reduced to $15$ classes. The proof is done by explicitly showing the permutation (represented in cycles) that identify each tile with a given representative.
