On geometry of symplectic involutions
Abstract
Let be a -dimensional vector space over a field and be a non-degenerate symplectic form on . Denote by the set of all -dimensional subspaces such that the restriction is non-degenerate. Our main result (Theorem 1) says that if and then any bijective transformation of preserving the class of base subsets is induced by a semi-simplectic automorphism of . For the case when this fails, but we have a weak version of this result (Theorem 2). If the characteristic of is not equal to 2 then there is a one-to-one correspondence between elements of and symplectic -involutions and Theorem 1 can be formulated as follows: for the case when and any commutativity preserving bijective transformation of the set of symplectic -involutions can be extended to an automorphism of the symplectic group.
