Summary
In [2] it was shown that a
1-generator quasi-cyclic code $C$ of length $n=ml$ of index $l$
over $Bbb Z_4$ is free if $C$ is generated by a polynomial which
divides $X^m-1$. In this paper, we prove that a necessary and
sufficient condition for a cyclic code over $Bbb Z_{p^k}$ of
length $m$ to be free is that it is generated by a polynomial
which divides $X^m-1$. We also show that this can be extended to
finite local rings with a principal maximal ideal.
