The finite symplectic group Sp(2g) over the field of two elements has a natural representation on the vector space of Siegel modular forms of given weight for the principal congruence subgroup of level two. In this paper we decompose this…
We study $2\times 2$ matrices over noncommutative rings with anti-involution, with a special focus on the symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}_2(\mathcal{A},\sigma)$. We define traces and determinants of such matrices and use them to prove a…
Suppose $\ell$ is a prime number, ${\mathbf Q}_\ell$ is the field of $\ell$-adic numbers, ${\mathbf F}_\ell$ is the finite field of $\ell$ elements, and $d$ is a positive integer. Suppose $G$ is a finite subgroup of a symplectic group…
For a smooth affine algebra $R$ of dimension $d \geq 3$ over a field $k$ and an invertible alternating matrix $\chi$ of rank $2n$, the group $Sp(\chi)$ of invertible matrices of rank $2n$ over $R$ which are symplectic with respect to $\chi$…
We consider the adjoint action of the symplectic Lie group $\mathrm{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$ on its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$. An element $X \in \mathfrak{sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$ is called…
We prove a level raising mod $\ell=2$ theorem for elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$. It generalizes theorems of Ribet and Diamond-Taylor and also explains different sign phenomena compared to odd $\ell$. We use it to study the 2-Selmer…
Let $R$ be a regular ring of dimension $d$ and $L$ be a $c$-divisible monoid. If ${K}_1{Sp}(R)$ is trivial and $k \geq d+2,$ then we prove that the symplectic group ${Sp}_{2k}(R[L])$ is generated by elementary symplectic matrices over…
We study a symplectic variant of algebraic $K$-theory of the integers, which comes equipped with a canonical action of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbf{Q}$. We compute this action explicitly. The representations we see are extensions…
We give alternative computations of the Schur multiplier of $Sp(2g,\mathbb Z/D\mathbb Z)$, when $D$ is divisible by 4 and $g\geq 4$: a first one using $K$-theory arguments based on the work of Barge and Lannes and a second one based on the…
For a semisimple algebraic group $G$ of adjoint type with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ over the complex numbers, we establish a bijection between the set of closed orbits of the group $G \ltimes \mathfrak g^{\ast}$ acting on the variety of…
This paper gives an explicit argument to show strong boundedness for ${\rm Sp}_{2n}(R)$ for $R$ a ring of S-algebraic integers or a semi-local ring. This gives a quantitative version of a related abstract result in a previous paper of the…
A topological group $G$ is called 2-swelling if for any compact subsets $A,B\subset G$ and elements $a,b,c\in G$ the inclusions $aA\cup bB\subset A\cup B$ and $aA\cap bB\subset c(A\cap B)$ are equivalent to the equalities $aA\cup bB=A\cup…
In this paper, we study the fine Selmer groups of two congruent Galois representations over an admissible $p$-adic Lie extension. We show that under appropriate congruence conditions, if the dual fine Selmer group of one is pseudo-null, so…
For any rational prime $p$, we define a certain $p$-stabilization of holomorphic Siegel Eisenstein series for the symplectic group ${\rm Sp}(2n)_{/\mathbb{Q}}$ of an arbitrary genus $n \ge 1$. In addition, we derive an explicit formula for…
We initiate the study of p-adic algebraic groups G from the stability-theoretic and definable topological-dynamical points of view, that is, we consider invariants of the action of G on its space of types over Q_p in the language of fields.…
Let $k > 3$ be an integer and $p$ a prime with $p > 2k-2$. Let $f$ be a newform of weight $2k-2$ and level 1 so that $f$ is ordinary at $p$ and $\bar{\rho}_{f}$ is irreducible. Under some additional hypotheses we prove that…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $\mathbb{K}[x,y]$ the polynomial ring. The group $\text{SL}_{2}\left(\mathbb{K}[x,y]\right)$ of all matrices with determinant equal to $1$ over $\mathbb{K}[x,y]$…
A closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group is called irreducible if it lies in no proper parabolic subgroup. In this paper we classify all irreducible subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups $G$ which are connected, closed and…
The Torelli group of $W_g = \#^g S^n \times S^n$ is the subgroup of the diffeomorphisms of $W_g$ fixing a disc which act trivially on $H_n(W_g;Z)$. The rational cohomology groups of the Torelli group are representations of an arithmetic…
