The elementary action of symplectic and orthogonal groups on unimodular rows of length $2n$ is transitive for $2n \geq \max(4, d+2)$ in the symplectic case, and $2n \geq \max(6, 2d+4)$ in the orthogonal case, over monoid rings $R[M]$, where…
If $R$ is a commutative ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $v, w \in Um_{2n}(R, I)$ then we show that $v, w$ are in the same orbit of elementary action if and only if they are in the same orbit of elementary symplectic action. We also show that…
For $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and a commutative ring $R$ with $2 \in R^{\times}$, the group $SL_n (R)$ acts on the set $Um_n (R)$ of unimodular vectors of length $n$ and $Spin_{2n}(R)$ acts on the set of unit vectors $U_{2n-1}(R)$. We give an…
It is shown that the set of orbits of the action of the elementary symplectic transvection group on all unimodular elements of a symplectic module over a commutative ring of characteristic not 2 is identical with the set of orbits of the…
For a positive integer $g$, let $\mathrm{Sp}_{2g}(R)$ denote the group of $2g \times 2g$ symplectic matrices over a ring $R$. Assume $g \ge 2$. For a prime number $\ell$, we give a self-contained proof that any closed subgroup of…
We prove the following result. Let q be a power of an odd prime and let Sp(2m,q) denote the symplectic group of degree 2m over F_q. Then if q=1 mod 4, no solvable subgroup of Sp(2m,q) acts transitively on a complete symplectic spread…
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…
Let $A$ be a ring with $1\neq 0$, not necessarily finite, endowed with an involution~$*$, that is, an anti-automorphism of order $\leq 2$. Let $H_n(A)$ be the additive group of all $n\times n$ hermitian matrices over $A$ relative to $*$.…
The aim of this paper is to study the natural action of the real symplectic group, $\operatorname{Sp}(4, \mathbb{R})$, on the algebraic set of $4$-dimensional Lie algebras admitting symplectic structures and to give a complete…
In this article, we prove the following results:\\ \noindent \text{(1).} Let $R$ be a smooth affine algebra of dimension $3$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ with $3!\in K$, then we show that $\Um_4(R)=e_1\Sp_4(R)$ and $\Um_4(R…
We study commutative Schur rings over the symplectic groups Sp$(n,2)$ containing the class $\mathcal C$ of symplectic transvections. We find the possible partitions of $\mathcal C$ determined by the Schur ring. We show how this restricts…
We examine the orbits of the (complex) symplectic group, $Sp_n$, on the flag manifold, $\mathscr{F}\ell(\mathbb{C}^{2n})$, in a very concrete way. We use two approaches: we Gr\"obner degenerate the orbits to unions of Schubert varieties…
There is a natural action of the braid group on the symmetric matrices with units on the diagonal, appearing in various fields as Singularity Theory, Frobenius Manifolds or Isomonodromic deformations of certain classes of linear…
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…
Let $R$ be an affine algebra of dimension $d\geq 4$ over a perfect field $k$ of char $\neq 2$ and $I$ be an ideal of $R$. Then - Um$_{d+1}(R,I)/{\rm E}_{d+1}(R,I)$ has nice group structure if $c.d._2(k)\leq 2$. - Um$_d(R,I)/{\rm E}_d(R,I)$…
For an exponential Lie group $G$ and an irreducible unitary representation $(\pi,\mathcal{H}_{\pi})$ of $G$, we consider the natural action defined by $\pi$ on the projective space of $\mathcal{H}_{\pi}$, and show that the stabilisers of…
The group $G = GL_r(k) \times (k^\times)^n$ acts on $\mathbf{A}^{r \times n}$, the space of $r$-by-$n$ matrices: $GL_r(k)$ acts by row operations and $(k^\times)^n$ scales columns. A matrix orbit closure is the Zariski closure of a point…
This paper concerns the enumeration of simultaneous conjugacy classes of tuples of commuting unitary matrices and of commuting symplectic matrices over a finite field $\mathbf{F}_q$ of odd size. For any given conjugacy class, the orbits for…
We investigate symmetric quotient algebras of symmetric algebras, with an emphasis on finite group algebras over a complete discrete valuation ring ${\mathcal O}$. Using elementary methods, we show that if an ordinary irreducible character…
The symplectic group Sp(2g,Z) is a subgroup of the linear group SL(2g,Z) and admits a faithful action on the sphere S^(2g-1), induced from its linear action on Euclidean space R^(2g). Generalizing corresponding results for linear groups, we…
