Let G be a finite symplectic or unitary group. We characterize the Weil representations of G via their restriction to a standard subgroup. Then we complete the determination of complex representations of G with specific minimal polynomials of certain elements by showing that they coincide with the W

β¦ Synopsis
We have deliberately favoured constructive proofs to existence arguments. In regards to linear representations, emphasis has been placed on matrices and linear transformations rather than modules and characters. As a result, every proposition asserting the existence of a certain object can be used as a recipe to construct that object.
1. CONSTRUCTION OF THE WEIL REPRESENTATIONS Definition of the Weil Representations
Weil representations arise from the interplay between Sp and the Heisenberg group H, upon which Sp acts as a group of automorphisms in such a way that all irreducible representations T of H of degree ) 1 are Sp-invariant. A Weil representation of Sp is one that intertwines the Sp-conjugates of a given T.
In this section we present a method, independent of Gerardin's, to Δonstruct the Weil representations. We first recall the definition of the Ε½ Β² :. Heisenberg group H associated to the symplectic space V, , , that is,
with multiplication Β² : c , w c , w s c q c q w , w , w q w .
