On additive codes with one-rank hulls

We study additive codes with 1-rank hulls and examine their properties for various dualities of the finite field of order 4. We give several constructions of additive and linear codes with 1-rank hulls. We also relate these codes to additive complementary dual codes (ACD). We give an interesting non-existence result for additive codes with a 1-rank hull for the duality M2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$M_2$$\end{document} in terms of the parity of the number of generators. We conclude by giving substantive computations finding codes with one-rank hulls for small lengths using our results.
