ProjectiveSymplecticGroup

construct a permutation group isomorphic to a projective symplectic group

	Calling Sequence
	ProjectiveSymplecticGroup(n, q) PSp(n, q)

Parameters

n	-	an even positive integer
q	-	power of a prime number

Description

•	The projective symplectic group $PSp (n, q)$ is the quotient of the symplectic group $Sp (n, q)$ by its center.

•	The groups $PSp (n, q)$ are simple except for the group $PSp (2, 2)$ , which is isomorphic to $S_{3}$ , the group $PSp (2, 3)$ , isomorphic to $A_{4}$ , and the group $PSp (4, 2)$ which is isomorphic to $S_{6}$ .

•	Note that for $n = 2$ the groups $PSp (n, q)$ and $PSL (n, q)$ are isomorphic.

•	The integer $n$ must be even.

•	The ProjectiveSymplecticGroup( n, q ) command returns a permutation group isomorphic to the projective symplectic group $PSp (n, q)$ .

•	The PSp( n, q ) command is provided as an abbreviation.

•	In the Standard Worksheet interface, you can insert this group into a document or worksheet by using the Group Constructors palette.
