Abstract

A code is called isodual if it is equivalent to its dual code, and a lattice is called isodual if it is isometric to its dual lattice. In this note, we investigate isodual codes over {\bb Z}_{2k}. These codes give rise to isodual lattices; in particular, we construct a 22-dimensional isodual lattice with minimum norm 3 and kissing number 2464.
