Abstract
Relations between symplectic geometry, Maslov index, representations of the Heisenberg group and the Shale-Weil representation of the symplectic group are discussed in this chapter. We first give in 1.1 the basic definitions and properties of symplectic vector spaces, Lagrangian subspaces, the Heisenberg Lie algebra and the action of the symplectic group of those objects.
