Reed-Muller codes in the sum-rank metric

Abstract: We introduce the sum-rank metric analogue of Reed-Muller codes, which we called linearized Reed-Muller codes, using multivariate Ore polynomials. We study the parameters of these codes, compute their dimension and give a lower bound for their minimum distance. Our codes exhibit quite good parameters, respecting a similar bound to Reed-Muller codes in the Hamming metric. Finally, we also show that many of the newly introduced linearized Reed--Muller codes can be embedded in some linearized Algebraic Geometry codes, a property which could turn out to be useful in light of decoding.
