The symplectic group
LieGroups.SymplecticGroup
— TypeSymplecticGroup{T}
The manifold of real symplectic matrices, of size $2n×2n$ for some $n∈ℕ$ is given by
\[\mathrm{Sp}(2n, ℝ) = \bigl\{ p ∈ ℝ^{2n×2n}\ \big|\ p^\mathrm{T}J_{2n}p = J_{2n}\bigr \}\]
where $J_{2n} = \begin{pmatrix} 0_n & I_n\\ -I_n & 0_n\end{pmatrix}$ denotes the SymplecticElement
.
This yields the SymplecticGroup
together with the MatrixMultiplicationGroupOperation
as the group operation.
The corresponding Lie algebra is given by the HamiltonianMatrices
\[\mathfrak so(2n, ℝ) = \bigl\{ X ∈ ℝ^{2n×2n}\ \big|\ X^+ = -X\bigr \},\]
where $⋅^+$ denotes the symplectic_inverse
.
