The notion of a shadow of a self-dual binary code is generalized to self-dual codes over 9 . A Gleason formula for the symmetrized weight enumerator of the shadow of a Type I code is derived. Congruence properties of the weights follow; this yields constructions of self-dual codes of larger lengths

✦ Synopsis
The structure of abelian Z -codes (and more generally Z N K -codes) is studied. The approach is spectral: discrete Fourier transform and idempotents. A criterion for self-duality is derived. An arithmetic test on the length for the existence of nontrivial abelian self-dual codes is derived. A natural generalization of both the supplemented quadratic residue codes and the binary duadic codes is introduced. Isodual abelian Z codes are considered, constructed, and used to produce 4-modular lattices.

New bounds are given for the minimal Hamming and Lee weights of self-dual codes over 9 . For a self-dual code of length n, the Hamming weight is bounded above by 4[n/24]#f (n mod 24), for an explicitly given function f; the Lee weight is bounded above by 8[n/24]#g(n mod 24), for a di!erent function
codes of type II and length 16 are known. In this note we relate the five optimal codes to the octacode. We also construct an optimal quaternary iso-dual [14, code which was not known previously.
The classi"cation of all self-dual codes over 9 of length up to 15 and Type II codes of length 16 is known. In this note, we give a method to classify Type IV self-dual codes over 9 . As an application, we present the classi"cation of Type IV self-dual codes of length 16. There are exactly 11 inequ
In memory of Professor Gian-Carlo Rota for his great contributions in combinatorial and discrete geometry A set of n-tuples over 8 is called a code over 8 or a 8 code if it is a 8 module. A particularly interesting family of 8 -cyclic codes are quadratic residue codes. We define such codes in terms
