Lecture 1 (14/06):
Planar maps, bent functions over finite fields, and an uncertainty principle
We explain some fundamental facts on planar maps and bent functions over finite fields. We also explain some connections to other areas. Also, a short introduction to the uncertainty principle of discrete Fourier transform will be presented.
Lecture 2 (17/06):
b-Symbol weight of codes, bounds, weight distributions, and cyclic codes
Symbol-pair weight of codes is a recent concept with applications, for example, in read memory channels. This concept is generalized to b-symbol weight in the literature as well. We present an overview of some of the recent results including bounds and connections to cyclic codes.
