We transpose the theory of rank metric and Gabidulin codes to the case of fields of characteristic zero. The Frobenius automorphism is then replaced by any element of the Galois group. We derive some conditions on the automorphism to be able to easily transpose the results obtained by Gabidulin as well and a classical polynomial-time decoding algorithm. We also provide various definitions for the rank-metric.
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.
