A new non-Hamming metric on linear spaces over finite fields has recently been introduced by Rosenbloom and Tsfasman [8]. We consider orbits of linear groups preserving the metric and show that weight enumerators suitably associated with such orbits satisfy MacWilliams-type identities for mutually dual codes. Furthermore, we show that the corresponding weight spectra of dual codes are related by transformations which involve multi-dimensional generalizations of known Krawtchouk polynomials. The relationships with recent results by Godsil [5] and Martin and Stinson [7] on MacWilliams-type theorems for association schemes and ordered orthogonal arrays are also briefly discussed in the paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
