Binary linear codes with a fixed point free permutation automorphism of order three (2402.10667v1)

Abstract: We investigate the structural properties of binary linear codes whose permutation automorphism group has a fixed point free automorphism of order $3$. We prove that up to dimension or codimension $4$, there is no binary linear code whose permutation automorphism group is generated by a fixed point free permutation of order $3$. We also prove that there is no binary $5$-dimensional linear code whose length is at least $30$ and whose permutation automorphism group is generated by a fixed point free permutation of order $3$.
