Abstract

In this paper, we use the graded ring construction to lift the extended binary Hamming code of length 8 to \(R_k\). Using this method we construct self-dual codes over \(R_3\) of length 8 whose Gray images are self-dual binary codes of length 64. In this way, we obtain twenty six non-equivalent extremal binary Type I self-dual codes of length 64, ten of which have weight enumerators that were not previously known to exist. The new codes that we found have \(\beta = 1, 5, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 41\) and 52 in \(W_{64,2}\) and they all have automorphism groups of size 8.
