Abstract
We prove that for every prime power $q$ and every $p \in (0, 1-1/q)$, a random $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear code of rate $1 - h_q(p) - \epsilon$ is $(p, C_{p,q}/\epsilon)$-average-radius list-decodable with probability at least $1 - q^{-\Omega(n)}$, i.e., for every center $y \in \mathbb{F}_q^n$, the $C_{p,q}/\epsilon$ codewords closest to $y$ have average fractional Hamming distance at least $p$ from $y$. This extends a similar result for (standard) list-decoding due to Guruswami, H\r{a}stad, and Kopparty (2010) to the stronger average-radius guarantee, with the same $O(1/\epsilon)$ list size. For average-radius list-decoding, such a result was previously known only for binary linear codes (Guruswami, Li, Mosheiff, Resch, Silas, and Wootters, 2021) and for general (non-linear) random codes over arbitrary alphabets (Elias, 1991).
We prove that for every fixed prime power $q$, every $p\in(0,1-1/q)$, and every $\varepsilon>0$ with $1-H_q(p)-\varepsilon>0$, a random linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of rate $1-H_q(p)-\varepsilon$ is $(p,\,\left\lceil\frac{H_q(p)}{\varepsilon}\right\rceil+O_{p,q}(1))\text{-list-decodable}$ with probability at least $...
Let $C \le \mathbb{F}_q^n$ be a uniformly random $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear code of rate $1 - h_q(\rho) - \varepsilon$, and let $L^*(C,\rho)$ be the least $L$ such that every Hamming ball of relative radius $\rho$ contains at most $L$ codewords of $C$. That $L^* = \Theta_{q,\rho}(1/\varepsilon)$ has been known since work of...
We give new bounds for list sizes of random linear codes at capacity, max loads of linear hash functions, and Furstenberg sets, over every finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. 1. Random linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with rate $1 - H_q(p) - \epsilon$ are $(p, O(q H_q(p)/\epsilon))$-list decodable with high probability for al...
A family of codes with rate R that are deterministically list-decodable up to radius $\rho = 1 - R - \tau$ in time $N^{1 + \tau}$ and space $N^{\tau}$ with constant output list size and constant alphabet size is presented.

Let $\mathrm{RM}_q(r,m)$ denote the generalized Reed--Muller code of order $r$ and length $q^m$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We completely determine the weight spectra of $\mathrm{RM}_3(2m-i,m)$ for $i=3,4$, $\mathrm{RM}_4(3m-i,m)$ for $i=2,3$, $\mathrm{RM}_5(4m-4,m)$, and $\mathrm{RM}_7(6m-4,m)$, in the range...

A length-$n$ binary $k$-deletion code is a set of binary strings such that if we delete any $k$ bits of a string, leaving a length-$(n-k)$ binary string, we can uniquely recover the codeword. In this paper, we consider $t$-list decodable deletion codes, where after $k$ bits of a codeword are deleted, we can identify a...
