One-weight Griesmer code conjecture for repeated simplicial defining sets

Let F2n=F2(η)\mathbb{F}_{2^n}=\mathbb{F}_{2}(\eta), let mNm\in\mathbb{N}, and let M[m]\emptyset\neq M\subsetneq[m]. Set

D=ΔM+ηΔM++ηn1ΔMF2nm.D=\Delta_M+\eta\Delta_M+\cdots+\eta^{n-1}\Delta_M\subset\mathbb{F}_{2^n}^m.

Let CDC_{D^{\ast}} be the associated punctured simplicial code, and let AiA_i denote its weight distribution and Zi={vF2nm:wt(cD(v))=i}Z_i=|\{v\in\mathbb{F}_{2^n}^m:wt(c_{D^{\ast}}(v))=i\}|. The repeated-set code conjecture. The code CDC_{D^{\ast}} is a one-weight linear code over F2n\mathbb{F}_{2^n} of length 2nM12^{n|M|}-1, dimension M|M|, and distance (2n1)×2n(M1)(2^n-1)\times2^{n(|M|-1)}; in particular it is minimal and is a Griesmer code. Moreover,

Z0=2n(mM),Zi=Z0Ai.Z_0=2^{n(m-|M|)},\qquad Z_i=Z_0A_i.

The claim extrapolates computations for fields of orders 22, 44, 88, and 1616; no general proof or resolution is supplied.
