Abstract

In this paper a rather unconventional real basis for the real symplectic algebra sp(2n,R) is studied. This basis is valid for representations carried by homogeneous polynomials of the 2n phase-space variables. The utility of this basis for practical computations is demonstrated by giving a simple derivation of the second- and fourth-order indices of irreducible representations of sp(2n,R).
