Complete weight enumerators of generalized doubly even self-dual codes.

Note that the proof that there is no doubly-even euclidean self-dual [24,12,9] code over F4 is wrong. There are two possible weight enumerators of such codes, one of which (with F2-rational subcode of dimension 4) is easily excluded. The paper with Sihuang Hu closes the gap by showing that the minimum distance of a doubly-even euclidean self-dual code of length 24 over F4 is at most 8.
