Abstract: The Siegel upper half space, $mathcal{S}_n$, the space of complex symmetric matrices, $Z$ with positive definite imaginary part, is the generalization of the complex upper half plane in higher dimensions. In this paper, we study a generalization of linear fractional transformations, $Ph{i}_S$, where $S$ is a complex symplectic matrix, on the Siegel upper half space. We partially classify the complex symplectic matrices for which $Ph{i}_S(Z)$ is well defined. We also consider $mathcal{S}_n$ and $overline{mathcalS}_n$ as metric spaces and discuss distance properties of the map $Ph{i}_S$ from $mathcal{S}_n$ to $mathcal{S}_n$ and $overline{mathcalS}_n$ respectively.
