Algebraic data packaging a 2×2 block-matrix symplectic form on $V \oplus W$: an evaluation pairing $\mathrm{eval} : W \otimes V \to \mathbb{R}$, an invertible block endomorphism $B$ on $V$ together with its transpose-inverse $B^{-T}$ on $W$, and a skew form $C$ on $W$ realized via $\tilde C : W \to V$.
Instances For
The "untwisted" model symplectic form $\omega_0((v_1,w_1),(v_2,w_2)) = \mathrm{eval}(w_1, v_2) - \mathrm{eval}(w_2, v_1)$ on $V \times W$.
Instances For
The "twisted" symplectic form $\omega_1((v_1,w_1),(v_2,w_2)) = \mathrm{eval}(w_1, Bv_2) - \mathrm{eval}(w_2, Bv_1) + C(w_1,w_2)$ obtained by composing the $V$-pairing with $B$ and adding the skew form $C$ on $W$.
Instances For
Block linear change of variables $(v,w) \mapsto (v - \tfrac{1}{2} B^{-1} \tilde C (B^{-T} w), B^{-T} w)$ used to relate the twisted symplectic form $\omega_1$ back to the model form $\omega_0$.
