How to show that Symplectic group $Sp(n,mathbb C)$ is not compact?












0












$begingroup$


I wanted to prove above just using basic facts .I had only given that Sympletic group preserve following bilinear form :



$B[x,y]=sum_{i=1}^kx_iy_{n+i}-x_{n+i}y_i$



I had defination of compactness as



Matrix Lie group is compact



1)If $A_m$ converges to A then A is in G



2) There exist constant C such that $|a_{ij}|<C,forall i,j$



How to prove using this thing $Sp(n,mathbb C)$ is not
compact?



Please, I had not done manifold, This is a question from introductory Lie Algebra.



ANy Help will be appreciated

    A good first idea is to write down explicitly which matrices are in $Sp(n, Bbb C)$. Then you should see that your condition 2 is not satisfied, i.e. among those matrices you can make some entries arbitrarily large.

Nobody can do that. since it is not compact. Perhaps that what you have in mind is the compact symplectic group, which is $Sp(n,mathbb{C})cap U(2n)$. This is a compact real Lie group and the complexification of its Lie algebra is isomorphic to $mathfrak{sp}(n,mathbb{C})$.

    Sorry Sir for huge typo. Actually I have to prove not compact. For Sp(n ) is compact that I had proved using U(n) is compact.
