Geometric characterizations of symplectic groups, modules and Lie algebras

Hans Cuypers (Eindhoven), 17th November 2011

Abstract

We provide a characterization of the geometry of hyperbolic lines of a symplectic space and some of its embeddings. We will describe how this geometric result can be used to characterize the symplectic group, some of its modules as well as the symplectic Lie algebra.
