Abstract

Let $${\mathcal{L}}$$ and $${\mathcal{L}_0}$$ be the binary codes generated by the column $${\mathbb{F}_2}$$-null spaces of the incidence matrices of external points versus passant lines and internal points versus secant lines with respect to a conic in PG(2, q), respectively. We confirm the conjectures on the dimensions of $${\mathcal{L}}$$ and $${\mathcal{L}_0}$$ using methods from both finite geometry and modular representation theory.
