Problem Analysis #7

[THOUGHT] Let $G$ be a generator matrix of the ternary linear code $C \subset \mathbb{F}_3^7$. The size of the group of monomial automorphisms of $C$ is 24. We want to find the number of generator matrices that produce codes monomially equivalent to $C$.

The group of monomial automorphisms is isomorphic to the general linear group $GL_k(3)$, where $k$ is the dimension of the code. In this case, the generator matrix $G$ has size $4 \times 7$, so the dimension of the code is $k=4$. The number of monomial automorphisms is $|GL_4(3)| = (3^4-1)(3^4-3)(3^4-3^2)(3^4-3^3) = (81-1)(81-3)(81-9)(81-27) = 80 \cdot 78 \cdot 72 \cdot 54 = 241920$. However, we are given that the order of the group is 24. This means that $G$ has a special form.

The number of generator matrices producing codes monomially equivalent to $C$ is given by

where $Stab(G)$ is the stabilizer of $G$ under monomial transformations. Since $|GL_4(3)| = (3^4-1)(3^4-3)(3^4-3^2)(3^4-3^3) = 80 \cdot 78 \cdot 72 \cdot 54 = 241920$, we have

The number of generator matrices producing codes monomially equivalent to $C$ is given by the number of equivalence classes. The number of generator matrices that produce codes monomially equivalent to $C$ is given by the formula

where $|Stab(G)|$ is the size of the stabilizer group. We are given that the order of the monomial automorphisms of $C$ is 24, which means there are 24 such transformations. We want to find the number of generator matrices that produce codes monomially equivalent to $C$. This is given by

where $|Stab(G)|$ is the size of the stabilizer group. Since we are given that there are 24 monomial automorphisms, $|Stab(G)| = \frac{|GL_4(3)|}{24}$. We are given that the order of the group is 24. This means that we need to find a special form for $G$. The number of generator matrices producing codes monomially equivalent to $C$ is given by the formula

We have $|GL_4(3)| = (81-1)(81-3)(81-9)(81-27) = 80 \cdot 78 \cdot 72 \cdot 54 = 241920$. Then the number of generator matrices is $\frac{241920}{24} = 10080$.

Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{10080}$
