Return the symplectic group.
The special linear group \(GL( d, R )\) consists of all \(d \times d\) matrices that are invertible over the ring \(R\) with determinant one.
Note
This group is also available via
groups.matrix.Sp().INPUT:
n– a positive integerR– ring or an integer; if an integer is specified, the corresponding finite field is usedvar– (optional, default:'a') variable used to represent generator of the finite field, if neededinvariant_form– (optional) instances being accepted by the matrix-constructor which define a \(n \times n\) square matrix overRdescribing the alternating form to be kept invariant by the symplectic group
EXAMPLES:
sage: Sp(4, 5) # optional - sage.rings.finite_rings Symplectic Group of degree 4 over Finite Field of size 5 sage: Sp(4, IntegerModRing(15)) Symplectic Group of degree 4 over Ring of integers modulo 15 sage: Sp(3, GF(7)) # optional - sage.rings.finite_rings Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: the degree must be even
