Abstract

After a seminal paper by Shekeey (Adv Math Commun 10(3):475-488, 2016), a connection between maximum h-scattered \({{\mathbb {F}}}_{q}\)-subspaces of \(V(r,q^n)\) and maximum rank distance (MRD) codes has been established in the extremal cases \(h=1\) and \(h=r-1\). In this paper, we propose a connection for any \(h\in \{1,\ldots ,r-1\}\), extending and unifying all the previously known ones. As a consequence, we obtain examples of non-square MRD codes which are not equivalent to generalized Gabidulin or twisted Gabidulin codes. We show that, up to equivalence, MRD codes having the same parameters as the ones in our connection come from an h-scattered subspace. Also, we determine the weight distribution of codes related to the geometric counterpart of maximum h-scattered subspaces.

Recall that \(\langle f\rangle _{{\mathcal {F}}_n}=\{f\circ \omega _{\alpha }:\alpha \in {\mathbb {F}}_{q^n}\}\).
