MiS Preprint Repository
We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
Valued rank-metric codes
Yassine El Maazouz, Marvin Anas Hahn, Alessandro Neri and Mima StanojkovskiAbstract
In this paper, we study linear spaces of matrices defined over discretely valued fields and discuss their dimension and minimal rank drops over the associated residue fields. To this end, we take first steps into the theory of rank-metric codes over discrete valuation rings by means of skew algebras derived from Galois extensions of rings. Additionally, we model projectivizations of rank-metric codes via Mustafin varieties, which we then employ to give sufficient conditions for a decrease in the dimension.
