Abstract

We call affine-invariant codes the primitive cyclic codes which are invariant under the affine group. We have proved that affine-invariant codes can be identified with antichains of products of chains of size p,...,p — where p is a prime. We first explain this correspondance ; then we define as special antichains the weakly self-dual codes and the even codes over GF(4) which are affine-invariant codes.
