Automorphisms of hyperelliptic GAG-codes (Q5901355): Difference between revisions

Generalized algebraic-geometry codes are linear codes which generalize the well-known geometric Goppa codes, since their construction makes use of places which are not necessarily of degree one. In this paper authors determine the \(n\)-automorphism group of generalized algebraic-geometry codes associated with rational, elliptic and hyperelliptic function fields. Such group is, up to isomorphism, a subgroup of the automorphism group of the underlying function field. Further they calculate some examples of \(q\)-ary linear codes for \(q=5\), 7 in the hyperelliptic case. These examples show that it is possible to construct generalized algebraic-geometry codes with a nontrivial \(n\)-automorphism group.
