\(AGL(m,2)\) acting on \(R(r,m)/R(s,m)\) (Q1346121)

The author determines the conjugacy classes of the general affine group \(\text{AGL} (m,F)\) over an arbitrary field \(F\) and in the case \(F\) is finite. The sizes of the centralizers of the elements of this group are also determined. He proves that under the action of \(\text{AGL} (m,2)\) the number of orbits of \(R(t,m)/ R(s,m)\) is equal to the number of orbits of \(R(m- (s+1), m)/ R(m- (t+1), m)\), for \(-1\leq s< t\leq m\), where \(R(k,m)\) denotes the \(k\)-th order Reed-Muller code of length \(2^ m\). These numbers are calculated for \(m=6, 7\).
