List Decoding Quotient Reed-Muller Codes

Authors: Omri Gotlib, Tali Kaufman, and Shachar Lovett

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 339, 40th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2025)

Abstract
Reed-Muller codes consist of evaluations of n-variate polynomials over a finite field 𝔽 with degree at most d. Much like every linear code, Reed-Muller codes can be characterized by constraints, where a codeword is valid if and only if it satisfies all degree-d constraints. For a subset X̃ ⊆ 𝔽ⁿ, we introduce the notion of X̃-quotient Reed-Muller code. A function F:X̃ → 𝔽 is a valid codeword in the quotient code if it satisfies all the constraints of degree-d polynomials lying in X̃. This gives rise to a novel phenomenon: a quotient codeword may have many extensions to original codewords. This weakens the connection between original codewords and quotient codewords which introduces a richer range of behaviors along with substantial new challenges. Our goal is to answer the following question: what properties of X̃ will imply that the quotient code inherits its distance and list-decoding radius from the original code? We address this question using techniques developed by Bhowmick and Lovett [Abhishek Bhowmick and Shachar Lovett, 2014], identifying key properties of 𝔽ⁿ used in their proof and extending them to general subsets X̃ ⊆ 𝔽ⁿ. By introducing a new tool, we overcome the novel challenge in analyzing the quotient code that arises from the weak connection between original and quotient codewords. This enables us to apply known results from additive combinatorics and algebraic geometry [David Kazhdan and Tamar Ziegler, 2018; David Kazhdan and Tamar Ziegler, 2019; Amichai Lampert and Tamar Ziegler, 2021] to show that when X̃ is a high rank variety, X̃-quotient Reed-Muller codes inherit the distance and list-decoding parameters from the original Reed-Muller codes.

Constructions of Maximally Recoverable Local Reconstruction Codes via Function Fields

Authors: Venkatesan Guruswami, Lingfei Jin, and Chaoping Xing

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 132, 46th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2019)

Abstract
Local Reconstruction Codes (LRCs) allow for recovery from a small number of erasures in a local manner based on just a few other codeword symbols. They have emerged as the codes of choice for large scale distributed storage systems due to the very efficient repair of failed storage nodes in the typical scenario of a single or few nodes failing, while also offering fault tolerance against worst-case scenarios with more erasures. A maximally recoverable (MR) LRC offers the best possible blend of such local and global fault tolerance, guaranteeing recovery from all erasure patterns which are information-theoretically correctable given the presence of local recovery groups. In an (n,r,h,a)-LRC, the n codeword symbols are partitioned into r disjoint groups each of which include a local parity checks capable of locally correcting a erasures. The codeword symbols further obey h heavy (global) parity checks. Such a code is maximally recoverable if it can correct all patterns of a erasures per local group plus up to h additional erasures anywhere in the codeword. This property amounts to linear independence of all such subsets of columns of the parity check matrix. MR LRCs have received much attention recently, with many explicit constructions covering different regimes of parameters. Unfortunately, all known constructions require a large field size that is exponential in h or a, and it is of interest to obtain MR LRCs of minimal possible field size. In this work, we develop an approach based on function fields to construct MR LRCs. Our method recovers, and in most parameter regimes improves, the field size of previous approaches. For instance, for the case of small r << epsilon log n and large h >=slant Omega(n^{1-epsilon}), we improve the field size from roughly n^h to n^{epsilon h}. For the case of a=1 (one local parity check), we improve the field size quadratically from r^{h(h+1)} to r^{h floor[(h+1)/2]} for some range of r. The improvements are modest, but more importantly are obtained in a unified manner via a promising new idea.
