A new class of geometry LDPC codes is presented which contains the class of Kou-Lin-Fossorier codes (see IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory, p.200, June 2000) as a subclass. If the code construction is based on Euclidean geometry (EG) and projective geometry (PG) over finite fields, we obtain four classes of LDPC codes, namely: (1) type-I EG-LDPC codes; (2) type-II EG-LDPC codes; (3) type-I PG-LDPC codes; and (4) type-II PG-LDPC codes.

Mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) have been used in several cryptographic and communications applications. There has been much speculation regarding connections between MUBs and finite geometries. Most of which has focused on a connection with projective and affine planes. We propose a connection with higher dimensional projective geometries and projective Hjelmslev geometries. We show that this proposed geometric structure is present in several constructions of MUBs.
