A representation of the metaplectic group.
The Segal-Shale-Weil metaplectic representation is also called the symplectic spinor representation.
The Segal-Shale-Weil representation is the following. By the Stone-von Neumann theorem there is an essentially unique irreducible unitary representation of the Heisenberg group of a given symplectic vector space. This being essentially unique implies that for each element of the symplectic group, there is a unique (up to multiplication by a constant of modulus one) unitary operator such that for all
The group is the subgroup of the unitary group of all such for . The map exhibits this as a group extension by the circle group
