Title: A Look at the Weight Hierarchy of Grassmann Codes and Allied Problems
Speaker: Harish K. Pillai, IIT Bombay
Abstract: Grassmann codes and Schubert codes are a class of algebraic-geometric codes related to the Reed-Muller codes. Apart from explaining how these codes are constructed, the problem of determining weight hierarchy of these codes would be presented along with some solution strategies. Finally, some allied problems involving threshold graphs would be presented.
