Dual of Algebraic Geometry codes from Hirzebruch surfaces

Abstract

In this paper, we give an explicit form for the dual of the algebraic geometry code $C_e(a,b)$ defined on an Hirzebruch surface $\mathcal{H}_e$ and parametrized by the divisor $aS_e + bF_e$, where $a,b\in\mathbb{N}$ and $S_e$ and $F_e$ generate the Picard group $\mathrm{Pic}( \mathcal{H}_e)$. Notably, we compute a lower bound for the minimum distance of $C_e(a,b)^\perp$. One of the main ingredient for our study is a new explicit form of the code $C_e(a,b)$ which we provide at the beginning of the paper. We also investigate some puncturing of $C_e(a,b)$, recovering other previously studied AG codes from toric surfaces. Finally, we provide a sufficient condition for orthogonal inclusions between the codes $C_e(a,b)$, and construct CSS quantum codes from them.
