Question:
Symplectic Matrix, Eigenvalues and Multiplicity
A 2n x 2n M is symplectic if MTJM = J where J is the (also 2n x 2n) matrix ( 0 -I ).
( I 0 )
Prove that if λ is an eigenvalue of M , then so is λ-1 , and that these have the same multiplicity.
Show furthermore that if λ and µ are eigenvalues of M, and λ ≠ µ ,then the corresponding eigenvectors gλ, gµ have the property that
gT µJ gλ = 0
