In this paper we construct a new variant of the Weil representation, associated with a symplectic vector space V defined over a finite field of characteristic two. Our variant is a representation of a bigger group than that of Weil. In the…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic >2, F=k((t)) and Mp(F) denote the metaplectic extension of Sp_{2d}(F). In this paper we propose a geometric analog of the Weil representation of Mp(F). This is a category of certain…
In this paper we construct a geometric analogue of the Weil representation over a finite field. Our construction is principally invariant, not choosing any specific realization. This eliminates most of the unpleasant formulas that appear in…
We construct a complex linear Weil representation $\rho$ of the generalized special linear group $G={\rm SL}_*^{1}(2,A_n)$ ($A_n=K[x]/\langle x^n\rangle$, $K$ the quadratic extension of the finite field $k$ of $q$ elements, $q$ odd), where…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. Denote by $W(k)$ the ring of Witt vectors of $k$. Let $F$ denote a totally ramified finite extension of $W(k)[1/p]$ and $\mathcal{O}$ the its ring of integers. For a connected…
Given F a locally compact, non-discrete, non-archimedean field of characteristic different from 2 and R an integral domain such that a non-trivial smooth F-character with values in the multiplicative group of R exists, we construct the…
We construct real and complex matrices in terms of Kronecker products of a Witt basis of 2n null vectors in the geometric algebra over the real and complex numbers. In this basis, every matrix is represented by a unique sum of products of…
In math.RT/0302174 we developed a framework to study representations of groups of the form $G((t))$, where $G$ is an algebraic group over a local field $K$. The main feature of this theory is that natural representations of groups of this…
Let $R$ be a commutative $\mathbb{Z}[1/p]$-algebra, let $m \leq n$ be positive integers, and let $G_n=\text{GL}_n(F)$ and $G_m=\text{GL}_m(F)$ where $F$ is a $p$-adic field. The Weil representation is the smooth $R[G_n\times G_m]$-module…
We construct, by contraction of a suitable complex vector bundle, the Weil representation of the finite symplectic group $Sp(A)$. We give an explicit description of the space of all lagrangian subspaces, which we use to compute the cocycle…
Let V be a symplectic vector space over a finite or local field. We compute the character of the Weil representation of the metaplectic group Mp(V). The final formulas are overtly free of choices (e.g. they do not involve the usual choice…
Two groups are called isocategorical over a field $k$ if their respective categories of $k$-linear representations are monoidally equivalent. We classify isocategorical groups over arbitrary fields, extending the earlier classification of…
Let F be a finite field of odd cardinality, and let G= GL2(F). The group G \times G \times G acts on F^2 \otimes F^2 \otimes F^2 via symplectic similitudes, and has a natural Weil representation. Answering a question rasised by V. Drinfeld,…
The Weil representation is used to construct a minimal type of the two-fold central extension of $\operatorname{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{Q}_2)$. The corresponding Hecke algebra is shown to be isomorphic to the classical affine Hecke algebra of the…
Let F be the usual real field. Let W be a symplectic vector space over F. It is known that there are two different Weil representations of a Meteplectic covering group $\widetilde{Sp}(W)$. By some twisted actions, we reorganize them into a…

Let $B$ be a ring, not necessarily commutative, having an involution $*$ and let ${\mathrm U}_{2m}(B)$ be the unitary group of rank $2m$ associated to a hermitian or skew hermitian form relative to $*$. When $B$ is finite, we construct a…
We construct via generators and relations, generalized Weil representations for analogues of classical $SL(2,k), k$ a field, over involutive base rings $(A, \ast).$ This family of groups covers different kinds of groups, classical and non…
Selfdual representations of any group fall into two classes when they are irreducible: those which carry a symmetric bilinear form, and the others which carry an alternating bilinear form. The Langlands correspondence, which matches the…
