| Popis: | We revisit and extend the connections between $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$-linear rank-metric codes and evasive $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^k$. We give a unifying framework in which we prove in an elementary way how the parameters of a rank-metric code are related to special geometric properties of the associated evasive subspace, with a particular focus on the generalized rank weights. In this way, we can also provide alternative and very short proofs of known results on scattered subspaces. We then use this simplified point of view in order to get a geometric characterization of near MRD codes and a clear bound on their maximal length. Finally we connect the theory of quasi-MRD codes with $h$-scattered subspaces of maximum dimension, extending to all the parameters sets the already known results on MRD codes. Comment: 20 pages |
