Abstract

Let \(\mathcal {R}=\mathbb {F}_{p^m}+ u\mathbb {F}_{p^m}, u^2=0 \), be the finite commutative chain ring with unity, where p is a prime number, m is a positive integer and \(\mathbb {F}_{p^m}\) is the finite field with \(p^m\) elements. In this work, we give a simple and short proof of classification of all \( \gamma \)-constacyclic codes of length \(p^s\) over \(\mathcal {R}\), that is, ideals of the ring \(\mathcal {R}[x]/\langle x^{p^{s}}- \gamma \rangle \), where \( \gamma \) is a nonzero element of the field \(\mathbb {F}_{p^m}\). This allows us to study the Hamming and symbol-pair distance distributions of all such codes.
