Abstract

There is a standard construction of lifting cyclic codes over the prime finite field $\mathbb{Z}_p$ to the rings $\mathbb{Z}_{p^e}$ and to the ring of $p$-adic integers. We generalize this construction for arbitrary finite fields. This will naturally enable us to lift codes over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$ to codes over Galois rings $GR(p^e,r)$. We give concrete examples with all of the lifts.
