Críticas

From the reviews:

"This book under review the general notions of form rings and their representations ... . This book, introducing a new unifying theory and its applications to a wealth of substantial examples, is certainly written for experts in the field." (Jürgen Müller, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 d)

Reseña del editor

One of the most remarkable theorems in coding theory is Gleason's 1970 theorem about the weight enumerators of self-dual codes and their connections with invariant theory. This book develops a new theory which is powerful enough to include all the earlier generalizations. It is also in part an extensive encyclopedia listing the different types of self-dual codes and their properties.
