Abstract:
In this paper, we give a generalization of subspace codes by means of codes of modules over finite commutative chain rings. We define the new class of Sperner codes and use results from extremal combinatorics to prove the optimality of such codes in different cases. Moreover, we explain the connection with Bruhat-Tits buildings and show how our codes are the buildings' analogue of spherical codes in the Euclidean sense.
