Summary: The \(\mathbb {Z}_{2^s}\)-additive codes are subgroups of \(\mathbb {Z}^n_{2^s}\), and can be seen as a generalization of linear codes over \(\mathbb {Z}_2\) and \(\mathbb {Z}_4\). A \(\mathbb {Z}_{2^s}\)-linear Hadamard code is a binary Hadamard code which is the Gray map image of a \(\mathbb {Z}_{2^s}\)-additive code. For \(s=2\), the kernel of \(\mathbb {Z}_4\)-linear Hadamard codes can be used for their complete classification. In this paper, the kernel of \(\mathbb {Z}_{2^s}\)-linear Hadamard codes is given for \(s > 2\). However, unlike for \(s=2\), we show that the dimension of the kernel just allows a partial classification of these Hadamard codes.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1370.94004].
