Representations of dimensions (p^n\pm 1)/2 of the symplectic group of degree 2n over a field of characteristic p

Abstract: The irreducible representations

p h i_{n}^{1}

and

p h i_{n}^{2}

of the symplectic group

G_{n} = S p_{2 n} (P)

over an algebraically closednfield

P

of characteristic

p > 2

with highest weights

o m e g a_{n - 1} + f r a c p - 3 2 o m e g a_{n}

and

f r a c p - 1 2 o m e g a_{n}

, respectively, are investigated. It is proved that the dimension of

p h i_{n}^{i}

(

i = 1, 2

) is equal to

(p^{n} + (- 1)^{i}) / 2

, all weight multiplicities of these representations are equal to

1

, their restrictions to the group

G_{k}

naturally embedded into

G_{n}

are completely reducible with irreducible constituents

p h i_{k}^{1}

and

p h i_{k}^{2}

, and their restrictions to

S p_{2 n} (p)

can be obtained as the result of the reduction modulo

p

of certain complex irreducible representations of the group

S p_{2 n} (p)

.
