The $$\ell $$-Galois hull $$h_{\ell }(C)$$ of an [n, k] linear code C over the finite field $${\mathbb {F}}_q$$ is the intersection of C and $$C^{{\bot }_{\ell }}$$, where $$C^{\bot _{\ell }}$$ denotes the $$\ell $$-Galois dual of C which was introduced by Fan and Zhang in 2017. The $$\ell $$-Galois LCD code is a linear code C satisfying $$h_{\ell }(C)= C\bigcap C^{\bot _{\ell }}= \{0\}$$. In this paper, we show that the dimension of the $$\ell $$-Galois hull of a linear code is invariant under permutation equivalences and we provide a method to calculate the dimension of the $$\ell $$-Galois ...
