Abstract

In this article, we consider the decoding problem of Grassmann codes using majority logic. We show that for two points of the Grassmannian, there exists a canonical geodesic between these points once a complete flag is fixed. These geodesics are used to construct a large set of parity checks orthogonal on a coordinate of the code, resulting in a majority decoding algorithm.
