“ON
TORIC CODES”

by

MESUT SAHIN

(KARATEKIN UNIVERSITY)

Abstract:  Toric codes are some evaluation codes obtained by
projective toric varieties corresponding to convex
lattice polytopes. We will explain how their basic parameters
are related to the torus and the number of lattice points of the polytope and introduce certain generalizations. We will
also review some recent results about the minimum distance.
