In particular, Galois geometries offer a natural framework in which the algebraic and<br \/>\ncombinatorial properties of codes can be studied and exploited.<\/p>\n<p>This special session aims to explore these deep connections by highlighting recent developments and by providing a contemporary perspective on their role in the advancement of coding theory and combinatorics. A central goal is to show how<br \/>\nthese structures serve not merely as technical tools, but as a structural setting that connects different families of codes, including linear codes, rank-metric codes and subspace codes, as well as to illustrate how geometric methods are linked to<br \/>\napplications in data storage and network coding.<\/p>\n<p>We wish to invite contributions presenting recent results and developments, including but not limited to the following topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Algebraic geometry codes<\/li>\n<li>Algebraic varieties over finite fields<\/li>\n<li>Galois geometries and projective spaces over finite fields<\/li>\n<li>Graph theory methods in coding theory<\/li>\n<li>Linear codes and geometric constructions<\/li>\n<li>Rank-metric codes and subspace codes<\/li>\n<li>Related algebraic and combinatorial structures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":210,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1932","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1932"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1932\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1934,"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1932\/revisions\/1934"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
