55 Relation to Symplectic Group of Order 4 The symplectic group of order 4 is a subgroup of SU(4) which leaves a skew-symmetric symmetric bilinear form invariant U t GU = G G = [0,1] = /20/

56 Equivalently GG t = UU = I U t GU = G; U t GUG t = GG t U U t GUG t = U GG t GUG t = U 1/20/

58 Symplectic Group of Order 4 The name 'complex group' formerly advocated by me in allusion to line complexes, as these are defined by the vanishing of antisymmetric linear forms, has become more and more embarrassing through collision with the word 'complex' in the connotation of complex number. I therefore propose to replace it by the corresponding Greek adjective symplectic. -Hermann Weyl in The Classical Groups 1/20/
