Description

The doubling method is a method for constructing Type II $\mathbb{Z}_4$-codes from a given Type II $\mathbb{Z}_4$-code.

Extremal Type II $\mathbb{Z}_4$-codes are a class of self-dual $\mathbb{Z}_4$-codes with Euclidean weights divisible by eight and the largest possible minimum Euclidean weight for a given length. A small number of such codes is known for lengths greater than or equal to $48.$

The subject of this talk is a construction of new extremal Type II $\mathbb{Z}_4$-codes of length $64$ by the doubling method.

We develop a method to construct new extremal Type II $\mathbb{Z}_4$-codes starting from an extremal Type II $\mathbb{Z}_4$-code of type $4^k$ with an extremal residue code and length $48, 56$ or $64$.
Using this method, we construct three new extremal Type II $\mathbb{Z}_4$-codes of length $64$ and type $4^{31}2^2$. Extremal Type II $\mathbb{Z}_4$-codes of length $64$ of this type were not known before.
