On the trivectors of a 6-dimensional symplectic vector space. II (Q442683)

Let \(V\) be a 6-dimensional vector space over a field \(\mathbb{F}\), \(f\) be a non-degenerate alternating bilinear form on \(V\) and \(\mathrm{Sp}(V,f) \simeq \mathrm{Sp}_6(\mathbb{F})\) be the symplectic group associated with \((V,f)\). It is known that the action of the \(\mathrm{GL}(V)\) on \(\bigwedge^3(V)\) (the third exterior power of \(V\)) defines five families of nonzero trivectors of \(V\), four of whose are orbits for any choice of \(\mathbb{F}\). In a previous paper [ibid. 435, No. 2, 289--306 (2011; Zbl 1233.15010)], the authors have studied the problem of classifying the \(\mathrm{Sp}(V,f)\)-equivalence classes of trivectors of \(V\), and the present paper completes this one. The orbits of the fifth family are in one-to-one correspondence with the quadratic extensions of \(\mathbb{F}\) that are contained in a fixed algebraic closure of \(\bar{\mathbb{F}}\) of \(\mathbb{F}\). The authors divide the orbits corresponding to the separable quadratic extensions into suborbits for the action of \(\mathrm{Sp}(V,f) \subseteq \mathrm{GL}(V)\) on \(\bigwedge^3(V)\).
