Norm-One Torus Decompositions and Decoding of Gashkov-Sidel'nikov Codes

Let $q=3^m$, let $K=\mathbb F_{q^2}$, and let \[\mathcal T=\{x\in K^*:\operatorname{N}_{K/\mathbb F_q}(x)=1\}.\] For both cyclic and constacyclic Gashkov-Sidel'nikov codes, we show that the set of signed parity-check column labels is precisely $\mathcal T$. Consequently, the decoding problem separat
