Abstract:The order bound on generalized Hamming weights is introduced in a general setting of codes on varieties which comprises both the one point geometric Goppa codes as the q-ary Reed-Muller codes. For the latter codes it is shown that this bound is sharp and that they satisfy the double chain condition.

“…The theorem of Heijnen-Pellikaan is intimately related to the determination of higher weights (also known as, generalized Hamming weights) of Reed-Muller codes RM q (d, m) and in fact, that was the original motivation of [10]. In a similar manner, the TBC is closely related to determination of higher weights of projective ReedMuller codes PRM q (d, m).…”
Abstract. Tsfasman-Boguslavsky Conjecture predicts the maximum number of zeros that a system of linearly independent homogeneous polynomials of the same positive degree with coefficients in a finite field can have in the corresponding projective space. We give a self-contained proof to show that this conjecture holds in the affirmative in the case of systems of three homogeneous polynomials, and also to show that the conjecture is false in the case of five quadrics in the 3-dimensional projective space over a finite field. Connections between the Tsfasman-Boguslavsky Conjecture and the determination of generalized Hamming weights of projective Reed-Muller codes are outlined and these are also exploited to show that this conjecture holds in the affirmative in the case of systems of a "large" number of three homogeneous polynomials, and to deduce the counterexample of 5 quadrics. An application to the nonexistence of lines in certain Veronese varieties over finite fields is also included.

“…In the following section a sketch will be given how this gives rise to a sequence of codes C(l) and a bound on the minimum distance of these codes following the ideas of [5,6,7,11,12,13,19,20,22,23]. This was generalized to a bound on the generalized Hamming weights by [10].…”

The notions of well-behaving sequences and order funtions is fundamental in the elementary treatment of geometric Goppa codes. The existence of order functions is proved with the theory of Gröbner bases.
We consider systems of homogenous polynomial equations of degree d in a projective space ސ m over a finite field ކ q . We attempt to determine the maximum possible number of solutions of such systems. The complete answer for the case r ϭ 2, d Ͻ q Ϫ 1 is given, as well as new conjectures about the general case. We also prove a bound on the number of points of an algebraic set of given codimension and degree. We also discuss an application of our results to coding theory, namely to the problem of computing generalized Hamming weights for q-ary projective Reed-Muller codes.
