Modular representations arising from self-dual \ell-adic representations of finite groups

Abstract: Suppose

e l l

is a prime number,

{m a t h b f Q}_{e} l l

is the field of

e l l

-adic numbers,

{m a t h b f F}_{e} l l

is the finite field of

e l l

elements, and

d

is a positive integer. Suppose

G

is a finite subgroup of a symplectic group

S p_{2 d} ({m a t h b f Q}_{e} l l)

. We prove that

G

can be embedded in

S p_{2 d} ({m a t h b f F}_{e} l l)

in such a way that the characteristic polynomials are preserved (mod

e l l

), as long as

e l l > 3

.
