Abstract

We obtain descriptions of the Lagrangian–Grassmannian code (Carrillo-Pacheco and Zaldívar in Des Codes Cryptogr 60:291–268, 2011) as a linear code associated with an FFN(1, q)-projective variety (Carrillo-Pacheco and Zaldívar in Adv Math Commun 10:209–220, 2016), and using these descriptions, we obtain bounds for its higher weights.
