Abstract

We studied a particular class of well known error-correcting codes known as Reed–Solomon codes. We constructed RS codes as algebraic-geometric codes from the normal rational curve. This approach allowed us to study some algebraic representations of RS codes through the study of the general linear group G L ( n , q ) . We characterized the coefficients that appear in the decompostion of an irreducible representation of the special linear group in terms of Gromov–Witten invariants of the Hilbert scheme of points in the plane. In addition, we classified all the algebraic codes defined over the normal rational curve, thereby providing an algorithm to compute a set of generators of the ideal associated with any algebraic code constructed on the rational normal curve (NRC) over an extension F q n of F q .
