Abstract

The Siegel upper half space, Sn\mathcal{S}_n, the space of complex symmetric matrices, ZZ with positive definite imaginary part, is the generalization of the complex upper half plane in higher dimensions. In this paper, we study a generalization of linear fractional transformations, ΦS\Phi_S, where SS is a complex symplectic matrix, on the Siegel upper half space. We partially classify the complex symplectic matrices for which ΦS(Z)\Phi_S(Z) is well defined. We also consider Sn\mathcal S_n and Sn\overline{\mathcal S}_n as metric spaces and discuss distance properties of the map ΦS\Phi_S from Sn\mathcal S_n to Sn\mathcal{S}_n and Sn\overline{\mathcal S}_n respectively.
