How to obtain lattices from (f,?,?)-codes via a generalization of Construction A

Pumpluen, Susanne

Abstract

We show how cyclic (f,?,?)-codes over finite rings canonically induce a Z-lattice in RN by using certain quotients of orders in nonassociative division algebras defined using the skew polynomial f. This construction generalizes the one using certain ?-constacyclic codes by Ducoat and Oggier, which used quotients of orders in non-commutative associative division algebras defined by f, and can be viewed as a generalization of the classical Construction A for lattices from linear codes. It has the potential to be applied to coset coding, in particular to wire-tap coding. Previous results by Ducoat and Oggier are obtained as special cases.
