On some families of certain divisible polynomials and their zeta functions (Q784825)

The zeta function of a linear code \(C\) was introduced by \textit{I. M. Duursma} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 351, No. 9, 3609--3639 (1999; Zbl 0927.94019)]. An interesting problem in this area is the the study of extremal weight enumerators with respect to the Mallows-Sloane bound, and whether or not they satisfy the Riemann hypothesis, [\textit{I. Duursma}, Discrete Math. 268, No. 1--3, 103--127 (2003; Zbl 1039.94015)]. For \(q\in\mathbb{R}\) and \(f(x,y)\in\mathbb{C}[x,y]\), the Mac Williams transform of \(f(x,y)\) is \(f^{\sigma_q}(x,y)=f(\frac{1}{\sqrt{q}}(x+(q-1)y),\frac{1}{\sqrt{q}}(x-y))\). If \(f^{\sigma_q}(x,y)=-f(x,y)\) then \(f(x,y)\) is called pseudo-invariant. In this article the author establishes analogs of the Mallows-Sloane bound for pseudo-invariant polynomials of types I and IV (\(q\in\{2,4,4/3\}\)) and proves an equivalence between the Riemann hypothesis for the extremal polynomials of the above types and another class of pseudo-invariant polynomials. These results generalize previous works of [\textit{T. Okuda}, RIMS Kôkyûroku Bessatsu B20, 57--69 (2010; Zbl 1221.94082)].
