The standard representation of the symplectic group #
The standard representation of the symplectic group scheme Sp₂ₘ is obtained by corestricting
the standard O(GL₂ₘ)-comodule along the quotient coordinate morphism
O(GL₂ₘ) ⟶ O(Sp₂ₘ).
The representation is faithful in every rank. Over a field it is simple whenever m is
positive. Its functor-of-points action is multiplication by the corresponding symplectic matrix,
so every subcomodule is stable under symplectic matrices.
