Abstract

In this paper we investigate left ideals as codes in twisted skew group rings. The considered rings, which are in most cases algebras over a finite field, allow us to retrieve many of the well-known codes. The presentation, given here, unifies the concept of group codes, twisted group codes and skew group codes.

Notes

  1. Here, \(\textrm{Aut}(K)\) denotes the automorphism group of the field K.

  2. Indeed, there exists a diagonal matrix D such that \({\widetilde{g}}=(\Theta _{g},D\cdot g)\). Then we have \({\widetilde{g}}(\lambda e_h)= D^{\Theta _{g^{-1}}} \cdot g^{\Theta _{g^{-1}}}(\lambda e_h)^{\Theta _{g^{-1}}}=\lambda ^{\Theta _{g^{-1}}}D^{\Theta _{g^{-1}}} \cdot g^{\Theta _{g^{-1}}}(e_h)^{\Theta _{g^{-1}}}=\Theta _g(\lambda )({\widetilde{g}}e_h)\).
