Abstract

Two isometry groups of combinatorial codes are described: the group of isometries, that is, the group of Hamming isometries from a code to itself and the group of monomial isometries, which is the group of those isometries of a code to itself that extend to monomial maps. Unlike the case of classical linear codes, where these groups are the same, it is shown that for combinatorial codes the groups can be arbitrarily different. In particular, there exist codes with the richest possible group of isometries and the trivial group of monomial isometries. In the paper, the two groups are characterized and codes with predefined isometry groups are constructed.
