Symplectic contraction of an exterior square

ID: symplectic-contraction-of-an-exterior-square

For a symplectic vector space , contraction is the map defined by . It is equivariant for the symplectic Lie algebra. In dimension four its five-dimensional kernel is irreducible of highest weight , while the invariant inverse-form bivector spans a complementary trivial Lie algebra representation.
