Centralizers of the complex orthogonal and symplectic group

Algebraic Geometry 2026-05-12 v1

Abstract

We find a recursive algorithm for computing the precise centralizers of the complex orthogonal and symplectic groups, and hence the isotropy groups, with respect to the similarity transformation on the spaces of skew-symmetric and Hamiltonian matrices, respectively. These groups are conjugate to groups of certain nonsingular block matrices whose blocks are rectangular block Toeplitz.
