Title
Weight Spectrum of Codes Associated With the Grassmannian $G(3,7)$
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the problem of determining the weight spectrum of $q$ -ary codes $C(3,m)$ associated with Grassmann varieties $G(3,m)$. For $m=6$, this was done in a paper by Nogin in 1997. We derive a formula for the weight of a codeword of $C(3,m)$, in terms of certain varieties associated with alternating trilinear forms on $\\BBF_{q}^{m}$. The classification of such forms under the action of the general linear group $GL(m, \\BBF_{q})$ is the other component that is required to calculate the spectrum of $C(3,m)$. For $m=7$, we explicitly determine the varieties mentioned above. The classification problem for alternating three-forms on $\\BBF_{q}^{7}$ was solved in a study by Cohen and Helminck in 1988, which we then use to determine the spectrum of $C(3,7)$.
