We construct a new list-decodable family of asymptotically good algebraic-geometric (AG) codes over fixed alphabets. The function fields underlying these codes are constructed using class field theory, specifically Drinfeld modules of rank $1$, and designed to have an automorphism of large order that is used to ``fold" the AG code. ... more >>>

Multipoint evaluation is the computational task of evaluating a polynomial given as a list of coefficients at a given set of inputs. Besides being a natural and fundamental question in computer algebra on its own, fast algorithms for this problem is also closely related to fast algorithms for other natural ... more >>>

We survey the notion and history of error-correcting codes and the algorithms needed to make them effective in information transmission. We then give some basic as well as more modern constructions of, and algorithms for, error-correcting codes that depend on relatively simple elements of applied algebra. While the role of ... more >>>
