Abstract

We construct all self-dual \([24, 12, 8]\) quaternary codes with a monomial automorphism of prime order \(r > 3\) and obtain a unique code for \(r = 23\) (which has automorphisms of orders \(5\), \(7\), and \(11\) too), two inequivalent codes for \(r = 11\), \(6\) inequivalent codes for \(r = 7\), and \(12\) inequivalent codes for \(r = 5\). The obtained codes have \(12\) different weight spectra.
