Cyclic codes and cyclically covering subspaces
A subspace of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ is called cyclically covering if the union of $\sigma^i(U)$ can cover the whole space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, where $\sigma$ is the cyclic shift, $0 \leqslant i \leqslant n-1$. Let $h_q(n)$ be the largest possible co-dimension of a cyclically covering subspace of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$. We show that...
