On Generalized Weil Representations over Involutive Rings

Abstract

We construct via generators and relations, generalized Weil representations for analogues of classical $SL(2,k),k$ a field, over involutive base rings $(A,\ast ).$ This family of groups covers different kinds of groups, classical and non classical. We give some examples that include symplectic groups as well as non classical groups like $S{L}_{\ast }(2,A_m),$ where $A_m$ is the finite modular analogue of the algebra of real m-jets in one dimension with its canonical involutive symmetry.
