New Invariants for Rank Metric Codes, with Applications to the Classification of Rank Two Semifields of Order 256
摘要
In this paper we completely classify semifields of order \(2^8 = 256\) containing a nucleus of order \(2^4 = 16\) . We introduce new invariants for semifields, and apply new computational techniques for calculating old invariants. Together these make the computational classification significantly quicker.
