Abstract: Consider the point line-geometry mathcalPt(n,k) having as points all the [n,k]-linear codes having minimum dual distance at least t+1 and where two points X and Y are collinear whenever XcapY is a [n,k−1]-linear code having minimum dual distance at least t+1. We are interested in the collinearity graph Lambdat(n,k) of mathcalPt(n,k). The graph Lambdat(n,k) is a subgraph of the Grassmann graph and also a subgraph of the graph Deltat(n,k) of the linear codes having minimum dual distance at least t+1 introduced in~[M. Kwiatkowski, M. Pankov, On the distance between linear codes, Finite Fields Appl. 39 (2016), 251--263, doi:10.1016/j.ffa.2016.02.004, arXiv:1506.00215]. We shall study the structure of Lambdat(n,k) in relation to that of Deltat(n,k) and we will characterize the set of its isolated vertices. We will then focus on Lambda1(n,k) and Lambda2(n,k) providing necessary and sufficient conditions for them to be connected.
