Abstract: For a positive integer g, let mathrmSp2g(R) denote the group of 2gimes2g symplectic matrices over a ring R. Assume gge2. For a prime number ell, we give a self-contained proof that any closed subgroup of mathrmSp2g(mathbbZell) which surjects onto mathrmSp2g(mathbbZ/ellmathbbZ) must in fact equal all of mathrmSp2g(mathbbZell). The result and the method of proof are both motivated by group-theoretic considerations that arise in the study of Galois representations associated to abelian varieties.
