Abstract
Let be an odd prime and a field containing a primitive th root of unity. Then for all , there is a faithful representation called the Weil representation. We provide explicit matrices generating in , which we have implemented in Magma. We also describe such generators for the irreducible Weil representations of , which are of degree and arise as irreducible constituents of the Weil representations.
