semi-ring of binary spaces


This page reports numerical facts related on the product of spaces.


Definitions

Let K be a finite field. Let n be a positive integer. The Hadamard product of K^n is denoted by *. The set of subspaces of K^n becomes a semiring when it is equipped of the laws :

X + Y = { x+y | x in X, y in Y }   X * Y = span { x*y | x in X, y in Y }

idempotent

One says that C is idempotent if C*C = C.
n:  number of idempotents of dimension k
2:      1     1
3:      1     3     1
4:      1     7     6     1
5:      1    15    25    10     1
6:      1    31    90    65    15     1
7:      1    63   301   350   140    21     1
8:      1   127   966  1701  1050   266    28     1
Stirling numbers of the second kind appear by column. It easy to prove there is only one projective idempotent.

irreducible

One says that C is irreducible if X*Y = C implies that X=1 or Y=1.
n :  number of irreducibles of dimension k
2 :  1
3 :  1   1
4 :  1   6
5 :  1  25   
6 :  1  90  30 
7 :  1 301 660 30

square distribution

A square root of a projective code is projective. This section describes the distribution of square roots of projective codes. The file square-7.txt contains the lines:

that means there 29212 subspaces, 2960 are projectives whose 2 ( 2 class of size 1) are squares. One of dimension 6 has 30 square roots, the other one has 20930 square roots : 1605 of dimension 4, 1225 of dimension 5, 99 of dimension 6 and 1 of dimension 1.

dimension sequence

The dimension sequence of the binary projective codes are reported in the files
[dim-2] [dim-3] [dim-4] [dim-5] [dim-6] [dim-7]
[dim-8] [dim-9] [dim-10] [dim-11] [dim-12]
[dim-13] [dim-14]
The file dim-8.txt contains the lines:
#dimension sequences of binary projective codes of length 8
      2 dim : 4.7.8
      4 dim : 4.8
     15 dim : 5.8
     14 dim : 6.8
      6 dim : 7.8

that means there are 2 class of code of dimension 4 such that

dim C = 4,   dim C*C = 7,   dim C*C*C = 8.
One can recover these codes (related to simplex or RM(1,3)) in the directory code-8.

enumeration

The file proj-k-n.txt provides the class of binary codes of length n dimension k under the action of the group S(n). The file proj-4-7.txt contains
#number of [7,4] class : 5 
:1:2:4:8:7:11:13
:1:2:4:8:3:5:14
:1:2:4:8:3:5:10
:1:2:4:8:3:5:9
:1:2:4:8:3:5:6
#number of [7,4] class : 5
that means there are 5 class of projective [7,4] code. One gets a generator matrix decomposing the integers using basis 2 e.g. the matrix described by the last line :1:2:4:8:3:5:6
1 0 0 0 1 1 0
