contents In this paper, we study partitions of finite modules induced by rank support and rank weight. First, we show that partitions induced by rank support are mutually dual with respect to suitable non-degenerate pairings, and hence are reflexive; moreover, we compute the associated generalized Krawtchouk matrices. Similar results are established for partitions induced by isomorphic relation of rank support. These results generalize counterpart results established for row space partitions and rank partitions of matrix spaces over finite fields. Next, we show that partitions of free modules over a finite chain ring $R$ induced by rank weight are non-reflexive provided that $R$ is not a field; moreover, we characterize the dual partitions explicitly. As a corollary, we show that rank partitions of matrix spaces over $R$ are reflexive if and only if $R$ is a field; moreover, two matrices belong to the same member of the dual partition if and only if their transposes are equivalent. In particular, we show that opposite to matrices over finite fields, rank metric does not induce an association scheme provided that $R$ is not a field, which further settles an open question proposed by Blanco-Chacón, Boix, Greferath and Hieta-Aho in \cite{2}.

In this paper, we study partitions of finite modules induced by rank support and rank weight. First, we show that partitions induced by rank support are mutually dual with respect to suitable non-degenerate pairings, and hence are reflexive; moreover, we compute the associated generalized Krawtchouk matrices. Similar results are established for partitions induced by isomorphic relation of rank support. These results generalize counterpart results established for row space partitions and rank partitions of matrix spaces over finite fields. Next, we show that partitions of free modules over a finite chain ring $R$ induced by rank weight are non-reflexive provided that $R$ is not a field; moreover, we characterize the dual partitions explicitly. As a corollary, we show that rank partitions of matrix spaces over $R$ are reflexive if and only if $R$ is a field; moreover, two matrices belong to the same member of the dual partition if and only if their transposes are equivalent. In particular, we show that opposite to matrices over finite fields, rank metric does not induce an association scheme provided that $R$ is not a field, which further settles an open question proposed by Blanco-Chacón, Boix, Greferath and Hieta-Aho in \cite{2}.
