A remark on symplectic semifield planes and Z4-linear codes

Published: 01 November 2013 Publication History

Abstract

Kantor and Williams (Trans Am Soc 356:895---938, 2004) introduced a family of non-desarguesian symplectic semifields of even order and studied a number of structures connected with such semifields; namely, symplectic spreads, orthogonal spreads and Z 4-linear codes. Also, they provided equivalence results concerning such objects, although under certain field restrictions. In this article we will succeed in removing such hypotheses.
