Three-weight code conjecture for Ding's odd-m difference sets

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let m≥5m\geq 5 be odd, let DfD_f be defined from one of the eleven trinomials in Ding's difference-set conjecture, and let CDf{\mathcal C}_{D_f} be the associated binary linear code. Odd-m code conjecture. For every listed polynomial ff, the code has parameters

[2m−1, m, 2m−2−2(m−3)/2][2^{m-1},\,m,\,2^{m-2}-2^{(m-3)/2}]

and weight enumerator

1+(2m−2−2(m−3)/2)z2m−2−2(m−3)/2+(2m−2−1)z2m−2+(2m−2+2(m−3)/2)z2m−2+2(m−3)/2.1+(2^{m-2}-2^{(m-3)/2})z^{2^{m-2}-2^{(m-3)/2}}+(2^{m-2}-1)z^{2^{m-2}}+(2^{m-2}+2^{(m-3)/2})z^{2^{m-2}+2^{(m-3)/2}}.

The conjecture predicts binary three-weight codes arising from the conjectured odd-dimensional cyclic difference sets.
