Abstract: Let $G=GL(V)$ for an N-dimensional vector space $V$ over an algebraically closed field k, and $G^{heta}$ the fixed point subgroup of $G$ under an involution $heta$ on $G$. In the case where $G^{heta}=O(V)$, the generalized Springer correspondence for the unipotent variety of the symmetric space $G/G^{heta}$ was studied by last two authors, under the assumption that ch k is odd. The definition of $heta$, and of the associated symmetric space given there make sense even if ch k = 2. In this paper, we discuss the Springer correspondence for those symmetric spaces of even characteristic. We show that if N is even, the Springer correspondence is reduced to that of symplectic Lie algebras in ch k = 2, which was determined by Xue. While if N is odd, we show that a very similar phenomenon as in the case of exotic symmetric space of level 3 appears.
