Authored summary

A published 333-plane code extends to 334 by adjoining the whole space, and the published semidefinite bound is 388. The exact value remains unresolved among the 55 integers in this interval.

The record cites sources for its explanation.

2Authored explanation

Heinlein, Kiermaier, Kurz, and Wassermann give 333 three-dimensional subspaces of F₂⁷ with minimum subspace distance 4. The whole space has distance 4 from every three-space, so adjoining it gives 334 mixed-dimension codewords. Heinlein and Ihringer prove the upper bound 388 by semidefinite programming. The current online subspace-code table still displays 334–388 for these parameters. A dated search on 2026-07-28 found no later primary result that closes either side of the interval.
