In this paper, we study the codes constructed from self-orthogonal 5-designs with the same parameters as the above 5-designs. We give some parameters of a self-orthogonal 5-design whose existence is equivalent to that of an extremal doubly even self-dual code of length 24m for m=3,...,6. If $m \\in \\{1,\\ldots,6\\}$, $k \\in \\{m+1,\\ldots,5m-1\\}$ and $(m,k) \\ne (6,18)$, then it is shown that an extremal doubly even self-dual code of length 24m is generated by codewords of weight 4k.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-03-19T08:46:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "94B05", "05B30" ], "keywords": [ "self-dual code", "putative extremal doubly", "self-orthogonal", "length 24m form", "nontrivial weight" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1401.6254H" } } }
