Symplectic modules

A symplectic module is a finite group with a regular antisymmetric form. The paper determines sufficient conditions for the invariants of the maximal isotropic subgroups (Lagrangians), and asymptotic values for a lower bound of a group which contains Lagrangians of all symplectic modules of a fixed orderp ⁿ. These results have application to the splitting fields of universal division algebras.     

Symplectic Spreads

We construct an infinite family of symplectic spreads in spaces of odd rank and characteristic.     

Symplectic Matroids

A symplectic matroid is a collection B of k-element subsets of J = {1, 2, ..., n, 1*, 2*, ...; n*}, each of which contains not both of i and i* for every i n, and which has the additional property that for any linear ordering of J such that i j implies j* i* and i j* implies j i* for all i, j n, B has a member which dominates element-wise every other member of B. Symplectic matroids are a special case of Coxeter matroids, namely the case where the Coxeter group is the hyperoctahedral group, the group of symmetries of the n-cube. In this paper we develop the basic properties of symplectic matroids in a largely self-contained and elementary fashion. Many of these results are analogous to results for ordinary matroids (which are Coxeter matroids for the symmetric group), yet most are not generalizable to arbitrary Coxeter matroids. For example, representable symplectic matroids arise from totally isotropic subspaces of a symplectic space very similarly to the way in which representable ordinary matroids arise from a subspace of a vector space. We also examine Lagrangian matroids, which are the special case of symplectic matroids where k = n, and which are equivalent to Bouchet's symmetric matroids or 2-matroids.

Symplectic enumeration

Every complex projective space of odd dimension carries a natural contact structure. We give first steps towards the enumeration of curves in ℙ³ tangent to the contact structure. Such a curve is involutive in the sense that its homogeneous ideal is closed under Poisson bracket. Involutive curves in ℙ³ contained in a plane split as a union of concurrent lines. We give a formula for the number of plane involutive curves of a given degree in ℙ³ meeting the appropriate number of lines. We also discuss strategies to deal with the enumeration of involutive rational curves.

Symplectic orthogonality spaces

Let E be a finite dimensional vector space over the Galois field GF(2). Let lin(E) denote the set of one-dimensional subspaces of E. Let Φ be the symplectic inner product on E. Consider the elements of lin(E) as vertices of a graph, two vertices being connected exactly when they are distinct and orthogonal with respect to Φ. This graph is characterized abstractly.     

Symplectic curvature tensors

In the paper, one establishes the decomposition of the space of tensors which have the symmetries of the curvature of a torsionless symplectic connection into Sp (n)-irreducible components. This leads to three interesting classes of symplectic connections: flat, Ricci flat, and similar to the Levi-Civita connections of Kähler manifolds with constant holomorphic sectional curvature (we call them connections with reducible curvature). A symplectic manifold with two transversal polarizations has a canonical symplectic connection, and we study properties that are encountered if this canonical connection belongs to the classes mentioned above. For instance, in the reducible case we can compute the Pontrjagin classes, and these will be zero if the polarizations are real, etc. If the polarizations are real and there exist points where they are either singular or nontransversal, one has residues in the sense ofLehmann [L], which should be expected to play an interesting role in symplectic geometry.     

Symplectic Difference Schemes for Hamiltonian Systems in General Symplectic Structure

We consider the construction of phase flow generating functions and symplectic difference schemes for Hamiltonian systems in general symplectic structure with variable coefficients.

Polar Symplectic Representations

We study polar representations in the sense of Dadok and Kac which are symplectic. We show that such representations are coisotropic and use this fact to give a classification. We also study their moment maps and prove that they separate closed orbits. Our work can also be seen as a specialization of some of the results of Knop on multiplicity free symplectic representations to the polar case.     

Symplectic group lattices

Let be an odd prime. It is known that the symplectic group has two (algebraically conjugate) irreducible representations of degree realized over , where . We study the integral lattices related to these representations for the case . (The case has been considered in a previous paper.) We show that the class of invariant lattices contains either unimodular or -modular lattices. These lattices are explicitly constructed and classified. Gram matrices of the lattices are given, using a discrete analogue of Maslov index.

     

Symplectic half-flat solvmanifolds

We classify solvable Lie groups admitting left invariant symplectic half-flat structure. When the Lie group has a compact quotient by a lattice, we show that these structures provide solutions of supersymmetric equations of type IIA.     

Symplectic embeddings of polydisks

If P and P ^′ are symplectic polydisks of radii R ₁≤...≤R _n and R ₁ ^′≤...≤R _n ^′, respectively, then we prove that P symplectically embeds in P ^′ provided that C(n)R ₁≤R ₁ ^′ and C(n)R ₁...R _n ≤R ₁ ^′...R _n ^′. Up to a constant factor, these conditions are optimal.
