Embed the space $\mathcal{B}$ of complete isotropic flags intoThe incidence conditions $F_i\subset F_{i+1}$ and isotropy equations $⟨F_i,F_i⟩=0$ are closed polynomial conditions. Since the Grassmannian is projective, $\mathcal{B}$ is a projective algebraic variety.

Every complete isotropic flag extends to a symplectic basis. A symplectic change of basis carries any such flag to any other, so $G={\mathrm{Sp}}_{2n}$ acts transitively. The stabilizer $B$ of the standard flag consists of the upper triangular symplectic matrices. It is closed, connected, and solvable. The Lie-Kolchin theorem shows that every connected solvable subgroup fixes a complete flag in $V$; preservation of the symplectic form makes the resulting flag isotropic after taking its first half. Such a subgroup is conjugate into $B$, so $B$ is maximal and hence a Borel subgroup.

Using the notation requested in the paper, the root lattice $P$ and weight lattice $Q$ areso $Q/P\cong \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. This reverses the common notation in which the root lattice is called $Q$ and the weight lattice is called $P$.
