Abstract: The purpose of the present article is the study of duals of functional codes on algebraic surfaces. We give a direct geometrical description of them, using differentials. Even if this geometrical description is less trivial, it can be regarded as a natural extension to surfaces of the result asserting that the dual of a functional code on a curve is a differential code. We study the parameters of such codes and state a lower bound for their minimum distance. Using this bound, one can study some examples of codes on surfaces, and in particular surfaces with Picard number 1 like elliptic quadrics or some particular cubic surfaces. The parameters of some of the studied codes reach those of the best known codes up to now.

Review text

It is well known that the duals of algebraic geometry codes obtained from curves by evaluating functions from a Riemann--Roch space in rational points on the curve, can be described using differentials. However, dual codes obtained in a similar way from higher dimensional algebraic varieties, are not completely understood. In this article, the author manages to use differentials to describe these dual codes coming from surfaces. It is shown that in general the dual code can be obtained by taking the sum of several differential codes. Then the parameters of such codes are studied in case the surface has Picard number 1. Some of the codes obtained have parameters as good as the best known codes up to now.
