Abstract

We look at low-density parity-check codes over a finite field $${\mathbb{K}}$$ associated with finite geometries $${T_2^*(\mathcal{K})}$$ , where $${\mathcal{K}}$$ is a sufficiently large k-arc in PG(2, q), with q = p h . The code words of minimum weight are known. With exception of some choices of the characteristic of $${\mathbb{K}}$$ we compute the dimension of the code and show that the code is generated completely by its code words of minimum weight.
