Lectures of Prof. Stephen Dougherty

Prof.  Stephen Dougherty, University of Scranton, will give a series of lectures on Coding Theory from June 10 to June 13. The lectures will be closely related to the topics of the course ''Computational Algebra'',  so the students who attended the course are strongly recommended to participate.  In the sequel you can find the abstract and the schedule of the lectures.

Title: Coding Theory and its foundations and applications

Abstract: Classical coding theory arose as a mathematical model used to ensure error free communication. In this setting, codes were defined as vectors spaces where the alphabet was a finite field.  We shall describe the passage from classical coding theory to present day coding theory, viewing it as a subbranch of algebra, where codes are modules over finite Frobenius rings.  We shall focus on the generalization of the Singleton bound and on the MacWilliams relations which illustrate the passage.  We shall also present various applications of the most general form of coding theory in other branches of mathematics.  

Speaker: Prof.  Stephen Dougherty, University of Scranton

Schedule: June 10,11, 12,13, from 10:00 to 12:00, Sala Riunioni II piano
