On the sparseness of certain linear MRD codes

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We determine the proportion of [3imes3;3]-MRD codes over mathbbFq within the space of all 3-dimensional 3imes3-rank-metric codes over the same field. This shows that for these parameters MRD codes are sparse in the sense that the proportion tends to 0 as qightarrowinfty. This is so far the only parameter case for which MRD codes are known to be sparse. The computation is accomplished by reducing the space of all such rank-metric codes to a space of specific bases and subsequently making use of a result by Menichetti (1973) on 3-dimensional semifields.
