Postgraduate International Coding theory Seminar
PICS is an online seminar series designed for junior researchers who work in the area of coding theory. The aim of the seminar is to give an opportunity to PhD students and early-stage postdocs to present their work and to interact with the other participants.

Schubert Subspace Codes
Schubert subspace codes are constant-dimension subspace codes such that all codewords are contained in a given Schubert variety, which is a subvariety of the Grassmannian.
We focus on the case where each codeword is a subspace that intersects a fixed subspace U in dimension at least 1. We fix the maximum value for the minumum subspace distance of the Schubert subspace code and try to optimize its size. We provide a geometric construction which achieves this maximum size using linear sets.
Finally, we generalize the problem to different values of the minimum distance.
This is joint work with Gianira Alfarano and Joachim Rosenthal.
I am a PhD student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln advised by Christine Kelley and Tefjol Pllaha.
