The formally self-dual extension conjecture for QQR codes

About 20 years old · traced to

Let p>5p>5 be an odd prime, let CNQ⊂F2pC_{NQ}\subset {\mathbb F}^{2p} be the quasi-quadratic residue code, and let C′C' be the code spanned by CNQC_{NQ} and the all-ones codeword. Let A=[A0,A1,…,An]A=[A_0,A_1,\ldots,A_n] be the weight distribution vector of CNQC_{NQ}, and define A∗=[An,An−1,…,A0]A^*=[A_n,A_{n-1},\ldots,A_0]. The formally self-dual extension conjecture. If p≡1(mod4)p\equiv1\pmod4, then C′C' is formally self-dual, has dimension pp, and its weight distribution vector is A+A∗A+A^*. The claim is presented as supported by computer computations, with no proof supplied.
