The semisimple conjugacy classes in the symplectic groups

Group Theory 2015-12-16 v1

Abstract

We determine the conjugacy classes of semisimple elements in the symplectic groups Sp(2m,F){\rm Sp}(2m,F), where FF is an arbitrary field of characteristic not 22. This note was originally a letter dated 23 March, 2006, from G.E. Wall to Cheryl E. Praeger, and has been reproduced with his kind permission.
