Motivation – Cyclic Subspace Codes All examples were found using (clever) computer search. Explicit Construction of Cyclic Subspace Codes? Encoding? Decoding? List Dec ’ ? Netanel Raviv Subspace Polynomials and Cyclic Subspace Codes 7

Cyclic Codes – Structure Let be a primitive element and . A Cyclic code is a union of orbits of the form: Note: . . Corollary 1: is a subfield. Corollary 2: Netanel Raviv Subspace Polynomials and Cyclic Subspace Codes 8

Cyclic Codes – a Trivial Construction Let be a subfield of . Define: Size: (one orbit) Minimum distance: Conjecture [Rosenthal et al. 13]: For every there exists a cyclic code of size and minimum distance . Yes! More than one orbit?
