Relative projective group codes over chain rings

A structure theorem of the group codes which are relative projective for the subgroup $\lbrace 1 \rbrace$ of $G$ is given. With this, we show that all such relative projective group codes in a fixed group algebra $RG$ are in bijection to the chains of projective group codes of length $\ell$ in the group algebra $\mathbb{F}G$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is the residue field of $R$. We use a given chain to construct the dual code in $RG$ and also derive the minimum Hamming weight as well as a lower bound of the minimum euclidean weight.

Spherical 2-designs and lattices from Abelian groups

We consider lattices generated by finite Abelian groups. We prove that such a lattice is strongly eutactic, which means the normalized minimal vectors of the lattice form a spherical 2-design, if and only if the group is of odd order or if it is a power of the group of order 2. This result also yields a criterion for the appropriately normalized minimal vectors to constitute a uniform normalized tight frame. Further, our result combined with a recent theorem of R. Bacher produces (via the classical Voronoi criterion) a new infinite family of extreme lattices. Additionally, we investigate the structure of the automorphism groups of these lattices, strengthening our previous results in this direction.
