We give a new and short proof of the Mallows-Sloane upper bound for self-dual codes. We formulate a version of Greene's theorem for normalized weight enumerators. We relate normalized rank-generating polynomials to two-variable zeta functions. And we show that a self-dual code has the Clifford property, but that the same property does not hold in general for formally self-dual codes.
We give an explicit description of all 168 quartic curves over the field of two elements that are isomorphic to the Klein curve over an algebraic extension. Some of the curves have been known for their small class number, others for attaining the maximal number of rational points.
The paper describes a method to determine symmetrized weight enumerators of $p^m$-linear codes based on the notion of a disjoint weight enumerator. Symmetrized weight enumerators are given for the lifted quadratic residue codes of length 24 modulo $2^m$ and modulo $3^m$, for any positive $m$.
