Evaluation codes from linear systems of conics

The Datta-Johnsen code is an evaluation code where the linear combinations of elementary symmetric polynomials are evaluated on the set of all points with pairwise distinct coordinates in an affine space of dimension $\ge 2$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. A generalization is obtained by taking a low dimensional linear system of symmetric polynomials. The odd characteristic case was the subject of a recent paper. Here, the even characteristic case is investigated.

Evaluation codes arising from symmetric polynomials

Datta and Johnsen (Des. Codes and Cryptogr., {\bf{91}} (2023), 747-761) introduced a new family of evalutation codes in an affine space of dimension $\ge 2$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ where linear combinations of elementary symmetric polynomials are evaluated on the set of all points with pairwise distinct coordinates. In this paper, we propose a generalization by taking low dimensional linear systems of symmetric polynomials. Computation for small values of $q=7,9$ shows that carefully chosen generalized Datta-Johnsen codes $\left[\frac{1}{2}q(q-1),3,d\right]$ have minimum distance $d$ equal to the optimal value minus 1.

On a Galois cover of the Hermitian curve of genus $\mathfrak{g}=\frac{1}{8}(q-1)^2$

In the study of algebraic curves with many points over a finite field, a well known general problem is to understanding better the properties of $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-maximal curves whose genera fall in the higher part of the spectrum of the genera of all $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-maximal curves. This problem is still open for genera smaller than $ \lfloor \frac{1}{6}(q^2-q+4) \rfloor$. In this paper we consider the case of $\mathfrak{g}=\frac{1}{8}(q-1)^2$ where $q\equiv 1\pmod{4}$ and the curve is the Galois cover of the Hermitian curve w.r.t to a cyclic automorphism group of order $4$. Our contributions concern Frobenius embedding, Weierstrass semigroups and automorphism groups.
