The paper “Two-Point Codes for the Generalized GK curve” is accepted for publication in the prestigious IEEE Transactions of Information Theory. The paper investigates a recently discovered family of maximal curves and details how techniques developed by Peter Beelen can be used to find record-breaking error-correcting codes with these curves.
The paper was very much a group effort: all four permanent members of the group as well as guest PhD student Élise Barelli featured as authors. The research started as part of our study group but quickly led to these new results.
