Grassmann codes are linear codes associated with the Grassmann variety $G(\ell,m)$ of $\ell$-dimensional subspaces of an $m$ dimensional vector space $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{m}.$ They were studied by Nogin for general $q.$ These codes are conveniently described using the correspondence between non-degenerate $[n,k]_{q}$ linear codes on one hand and non-degenerate $[n,k]$ projective systems on the other hand. A non-degenerate $[n,k]$ projective system is simply a collection of $n$ points in projective space $\mathbb{P}^{k-1}$ satisfying the condition that no hyperplane of $\mathbb{P}^{k-1}$ contains all the $n$ points under consideration. In this paper we will determine the weight of linear codes $C(3,8)$ associated with Grassmann varieties $G(3,8)$ over an arbitrary finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We use a formula for the weight of a codeword of $C(3,8)$, in terms of the cardinalities certain varieties associated with alternating trilinear forms on $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{8}.$ For $m=6$ and $7,$ the weight spectrum of $C(3,m)$ associated with $G(3,m),$ have been fully determined by Kaipa K.V, Pillai H.K and Nogin Y. A classification of trivectors depends essentially on the dimension $n$ of the base space. For $n\leq 8 $ there exist only finitely many trivector classes under the action of the general linear group $GL(n).$ The methods of Galois cohomology can be used to determine the classes of nondegenerate trivectors which split into multiple classes when going from $\mathbb{\bar{F}}$ to $\mathbb{F}.$ This program is partially determined by Noui L. and Midoune N. and the classification of trilinear alternating forms on a vector space of dimension $8$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of characteristic other than $2$ and $3$ was solved by Noui L. and Midoune N. We describe the $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-forms of $2$-step splitting trivectors of rank $8$, where char $\mathbb{F}_{q}\neq 3.$ This fact we use to determine the weight of the $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-forms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
