Weil representations via abstract data and Heisenberg groups: a comparison
英文摘要:
Let $B$ be a ring, not necessarily commutative, having an involution $*$ and let ${\mathrm U}_{2m}(B)$ be the unitary group of rank $2m$ associated to a hermitian or skew hermitian form relative to $*$. When $B$ is finite, we construct a Weil representation of ${\mathrm U}_{2m}(B)$ via Heisenberg groups and find its explicit matrix form on the Bruhat elements. As a consequence, we derive information on generalized Gauss sums. On the other hand, there is an axiomatic method to define a Weil representation of ${\mathrm U}_{2m}(B)$, and we compare the two Weil representations thus obtained under fairly general hypotheses. When $B$ is local, not necessarily finite, we compute the index of the subgroup of ${\mathrm U}_{2m}(B)$ generated by its Bruhat elements. Besides the independent interest, this subgroup and index are involved in the foregoing comparison of Weil representations.
