Abstract

In this article we present some techniques to determine the types of automorphisms of extremal doubly even binary self-dual codes, also called extremal type II codes, with parameters [24, 12, 8], [48, 24, 12] and [120, 60, 24]. We aim to obtain information about the automorphism group considering the exclusion of some prime numbers from its order.
