Abstract

Let GG be a group. An element gg in GG is called reversible if it is conjugate to g1g^{-1} within GG, and called strongly reversible if it is conjugate to its inverse by an order two element of GG. Let HHn\textbf{H}_{\mathbb H}^n be the nn-dimensional quaternionic hyperbolic space. Let PSp(n,1)\mathrm{PSp}(n,1) be the isometry group of HHn\textbf{H}_{\mathbb H}^n. In this paper, we classify reversible and strongly reversible elements in Sp(n)\mathrm{Sp}(n) and Sp(n,1)\mathrm{Sp}(n,1). Also, we prove that all the elements of PSp(n,1)\mathrm{PSp}(n,1) are strongly reversible.
