MacWilliams desenvolveu as chamadas identidades de MacWilliams, que estabelecem, em particular, relações entre a distribuição de pesos de códigos possuindo alta taxa de informação e códigos com baixa dimensão. Consideramos neste trabalho a família de métricas poset-block, uma pouco explorada generalização tanto das métricas de bloco quanto das métricas poset, e consequentemente da clássica métrica de Hamming. Efetuamos uma descrição detalhada dos espaços munidos com tais métricas com ênfase na teoria de códigos e em seguida tratamos do problema que surge naturalmente neste contexto: a caracterização dos espaços que admitem uma identidade do tipo MacWilliams, ou seja, a classificação das métricas que permitem relacionar unicamente o espectro de um código com o de seu dual. A principal técnica utilizada nesta classificação é a teoria de caracteres sobre corpos finitos, incluindo aí a transformada de Hadamard, a fórmula da soma discreta de Poisson e as relações de ortogonalidade existente entre caracteres. Tal técnica foi proposta inicialmente por F. J. MacWilliams e utilizada posteriormente por H. K. Kim e D. H. Oh na classificação das métricas poset que admitem identidades do tipo MacWilliams. Nosso principal objetivo é portanto classificar os espaços poset-block que admitem uma identidade do tipo MacWilliams. Como conseqüência desta classificação, através dos polinômios de Krawtchouk, obteremos expressões explícitas para estas identidades / Abstract: In 1963, F. J. MacWilliams developed the so-called MacWilliams identities, which establish, in particular, relations between the weight distribution of codes having high information rate and codes with low dimension. In this work we consider the family of poset-block metrics, a little explored generalization of both error-block and poset metrics, and hence also of the classic Hamming metric. We perform a detailed description of the spaces equipped with such metrics with emphasis in the coding theory and then we treat the problem that arises naturally in this context: the characterization of the poset-block metrics that admit a MacWilliams-type identity, in other words, the classification of metrics that allow to relate uniquely the spectrum of a code with the spectrum of its dual. The main technique used in this classification is the theory of characters over finite fields, including the Hadamard transform, the discrete Poisson summation formula and the orthogonality relations between characters. Such techniques were proposed initially by F. J. MacWilliams and used posteriorly by H. K. Kim and D. H. Oh in the classification of the metrics that admit a type of MacWilliams identity. Our main goal is therefore to classify the poset-block spaces that admit a MacWilliams type identity. As consequence of this classification, through the Krawtchouk polynomials, we will obtain explicit expressions for those identities / Mestrado / Matematica / Mestre em Matemática

This report is a survey of self-dual binary codes. We present the fundamental MacWilliams identity and Gleason’s theorem on self-dual binary codes. We also examine the upper bound of minimum weights of self-dual binary codes using the extremal weight enumerator formula. We describe the shadow code of a self-dual code and the restrictions of the weight enumerator of the shadow code. Then using the restrictions, we calculate the weight enumerators of self-dual codes of length 38 and 40 and we obtain the known weight enumerators of this lengths. Finally, we investigate the Gaborit-Otmani experimental construction of selfdual binary codes. This construction involves a fixed orthogonal matrix, and we compare the result to the results obtained using other orthogonal matrices. / text

In this thesis we revisit some classical results about the MacWilliams equivalence theorems for codes over fields and rings. These theorems deal with the question whether, for a given weight function, weight-preserving isomorphisms between codes can be described explicitly. We will show that a condition, which was already known to be sufficient for the MacWilliams equivalence theorem, is also necessary. Furthermore we will study a local-global property that naturally generalizes the MacWilliams equivalence theorems. Making use of F-partitions, we will prove that for various subgroups of the group of invertible matrices the local-global extension principle is valid.

Le fameux Théorème d’Extension de MacWilliams affirme que, pour les codes classiques, toute isométrie deHamming linéaire d'un code linéaire se prolonge en une application monomiale. Cependant, pour les codeslinéaires sur les alphabets de module, l'existence d'un analogue du théorème d'extension n'est pas garantie.Autrement dit, il existe des codes linéaires sur certains alphabets de module dont les isométries de Hammingne sont pas toujours extensibles. Il en est de même pour un contexte plus général d'un alphabet de module munid'une fonction de poids arbitraire. Dans la présente thèse, nous prouvons des analogues du théorèmed'extension pour des codes construits sur des alphabets et fonctions de poids arbitraires. La propriétéd'extension est analysée notamment pour les codes de petite longueur sur un alphabet de module de matrices,les codes MDS généraux, ou encore les codes sur un alphabet de module muni de la composition de poidssymétrisée. Indépendamment de ce sujet, une classification des deux groupes des isométries des codescombinatoires est donnée. Les techniques développées dans la thèse sont prolongées aux cas des codesstabilisateurs quantiques et aux codes de Gabidulin dans le cadre de la métrique rang. / The famous MacWilliams Extension Theorem states that for classical codes each linear Hamming isometry ofa linear code extends to a monomial map. However, for linear codes over module alphabets an analogue of theextension theorem does not always exist. That is, there may exists a linear code over a module alphabet with anunextendable Hamming isometry. The same holds in a more general context of a module alphabet equippedwith a general weight function. Analogues of the extension theorem for different classes of codes, alphabetsand weights are proven in the present thesis. For instance, extension properties of the following codes arestudied: short codes over a matrix module alphabet, maximum distance separable codes, codes over a modulealphabet equipped with the symmetrized weight composition. As a separate result, a classification of twoisometry groups of combinatorial codes is given. The thesis also contains applications of the developedtechniques to quantum stabilizer codes and Gabidulin codes.
