Abstract: The relative hull of a code

C_{1}

with respect to another code

C_{2}

is the intersection

C_{1} c a p C_{2}^{p} e r p

. We prove that the dimension of the relative hull can always be repeatedly reduced by one by replacing any of the two codes with an equivalent one, down to a specified lower bound. We show how to construct an equivalent code

C_{1}^{p} r i m e

of

C_{1}

(or

C_{2}^{p} r i m e

of

C_{2}

) such that the dimension of

C_{1}^{p} r i m e c a p C_{2}^{p e r p}

(or

C_{1} c a p C_{2}^{p r i m e p e r p}

) is one less than the dimension of

C_{1} c a p C_{2}^{p} e r p

. Given codes

C_{1}

and

C_{2}

, we provide a method to specify a code equivalent to

C_{2}

which gives a relative hull of any specified dimension, between the difference in dimensions of

C_{1}

and

C_{2}

and the dimension of the relative hull of

C_{1}

with respect to

C_{2}

. These results apply to hulls taken with respect to the

e

-Galois inner product, which has as special cases both the Euclidean and Hermitian inner products. We also give conditions under which the dimension of the relative hull can be increased by one via equivalent codes. We study the consequences of the relative hull properties on quantum codes constructed via CSS construction. Finally, we use families of decreasing monomial-Cartesian codes to generate pure or impure quantum codes.
