Affine Grassmann Codes

We consider a new class of linear codes, called affine Grassmann codes. These can be viewed as a variant of generalized Reed-Muller codes and are closely related to Grassmann codes. We determine the length, dimension, and the minimum distance of any affine Grassmann code. Moreover, we show that affine Grassmann codes have a large automorphism group and determine the number of minimum weight codewords.

Asymptotically good towers and differential equations

This paper concerns towers of curves over a finite field with many rational points, following Garcia--Stichtenoth and Elkies. We present a new method to produce such towers. A key ingredient is the study of algebraic solutions to Fuchsian differential equations modulo $p$. We apply our results to towers of modular curves, and find new asymptotically good towers.
