Abstract
Explicit expressions for 4n + 2 primitive idempotents in the semisimple group ring R 2pnequiv fracGFqxx2pn1 are obtained where p and q are distinct odd primes n ≥ 1 is an integer and q has order fracphi2pn2 modulo 2p n The generator polynomials the dimension the minimum distance of the minimal cyclic codes of length 2p n generated by these 4n + 2 primitive idempotents are discussed For n = 1 the properties of some 2p p cyclic codes containing the above minimal cyclic codes are analyzed in particular The minimum weight of some subset of each of these 2p p codes are observed to satisfy a square root bound
