Abstract: Let $A$ be a ring with $1eq0$, not necessarily finite, endowed with an involution~$*$, that is, an anti-automorphism of order $leq2$. Let $H_n(A)$ be the additive group of all $nimesn$ hermitian matrices over $A$ relative to $*$. Let ${mathcalU}_n(A)$ be the subgroup of $mathrm{GL}_n(A)$ of all upper triangular matrices with 1's along the main diagonal. Let $P=H_n(A)times{mathcalU}_n(A)$, where ${mathcalU}_n(A)$ acts on $H_n(A)$ by $*$-congruence transformations. We may view $P$ as a unipotent subgroup of either a symplectic group $mathrm{Sp}_{2n}(A)$, if $\ast =1_A$ (in which case $A$ is commutative), or a unitary group $mathrm{U}_{2n}(A)$ if $\ast eq{1}_A$. In this paper we construct and classify a family of irreducible representations of $P$ over a field $F$ that is essentially arbitrary. In particular, when $A$ is finite and $F=mathbbC$ we obtain irreducible representations of $P$ of the highest possible degree.
