Minimum-weight codeword conjecture for degree-4 maximal arcs

Let DD be a design associated with a maximal arc of degree 44 in PG(2,2m)PG(2,2^m), where m2m\ge 2, and let AA be its incidence matrix. Let CC be the binary code spanned by the rows of AA. Minimum-weight codeword conjecture. The code CC has minimum distance 44, and every codeword of minimum weight is a row of AA. This conjecture arises from computations with resolvable 22-(52,4,1)(52,4,1) designs associated with maximal arcs in projective planes of order 1616; its validity in general is not established by the supplied text.
