Abstract
Codes in the dihedral group algebra \(\mathbb{F}_q{D_{2n}}\), i.e., left ideals in this algebra, are studied. A generating idempotent is constructed for every code in \(\mathbb{F}_q{D_{2n}}\) given by its image under the Wedderburn decomposition of this algebra. By using a selected set of idempotents, the inverse Wedderburn transform for the algebra \(\mathbb{F}_q{D_{2n}}\) is constructed. The image of some codes under the Wedderburn decomposition is described directly in terms of their generating idempotents. Examples of the application of the obtained results to induced codes are considered.
