Abstract

There are seven binary extremal self-dual doubly-even codes which are known to have a 2-transitive automorphism group. Using representation theoretical methods we show that there are no other such codes, except possibly for length n = 1024. We also classify all extremal ternary self-dual and quaternary Hermitian self-dual codes.
