New classes of nonassociative divison algebras and MRD codes

In the first part of the thesis, we generalize a construction by J Sheekey that employs skew polynomials to obtain new nonassociative division algebras and maximum rank distance (MRD) codes. This construction contains Albert’s twisted fields as special cases. As a byproduct, we obtain a class of non...
