Conjugacy classes of p-torsion in symplectic groups over S-integers

Abstract

For any odd prime pp we consider representations of a group of order pp in the symplectic group Sp(p1,Z[1/n])Sp(p-1,Z[1/n]) of (p1)×(p1)(p-1)\times(p-1)-matrices over the ring Z[1/n]Z[1/n], 0nN0\neq n\in N. We construct a relation between the conjugacy classes of subgroups PP of order pp in the symplectic group and the ideal class group in the ring Z[1/n]Z[1/n]. This is used for the study of these classes. In particular we determine the centralizer C(P)C(P) and N(P)/C(P)N(P)/C(P) where N(P)N(P) denotes the normalizer.
