different between symplectic vs metaplectic
symplectic
English
Etymology
A calque of complex, coined by Hermann Weyl in his 1939 book The Classical Groups: Their Invariants and Representations. From Ancient Greek ???????????? (sumplektikós), from ??? (sum) (variant of ??? (sún)), + ????????? (plektikós) (from ????? (plék?)); modelled on complex (from Latin complexus (“braided together”), from com- (“together”) + plectere (“to weave, braid”)).
The symplectic group has previously been called the line complex group.

- In symplectic geometry, there is a notion of fibrations with a symplectic manifold F as fiber, where the structure group is the group of (exact) Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of the fiber. These are called symplectic fibrations. If the base manifold is also symplectic, there is a weak coupling construction, originally due to Thurston, of defining a symplectic structure on the total space .
