subspaces of a symplectic vector spaces are of special forms.

$begingroup$


Let $(V,omega)$ be a symplectic vector space. Let $F subseteq V$ be a subspace.



Show that
$V$ admits a symplectic basis ${e_1,ldots,e_n,f_1,ldots,f_n}$ with the following properties:



(1) If $F$ is symplectic then $F=span{e_1,ldots,e_k,f_1,ldots,f_k}$ for some $k$



(2) If $F$ is isotropic then $F=span{e_1,ldots,e_k}$ for some $k$



(3) If $F$ is co-isotropic then $F=span{e_1,ldots,e_n,f_1,ldots,f_k}$ for some $k$



(4) If $F$ is Lagrangian then $F=span{e_1,ldots,e_n}$



The converse of these statements are easy to prove by applying definitions. But I have no idea how to prove these.

          I'm guessing this question is unanswered because it's an exercise and you haven't sketched any work on the problem. The ideas for all 4 are basically the same, and all ideas you need to do it is the linear algebra "tinkering" that you do in the (symplectic) Gram-Schmidt process. I would recommend reading a proof of the symplectic Gram-Schmidt theorem, then trying to prove these four statements using the same ideas. You can probably find a lot of places to read about symplectic GS, or I just wrote an explanation in my answer to $SP_{2n}(mathbb {R})$ acts transitively on $mathbb {R}^{2n}$. If you get stuck, you can update the question with your progress and we'll try to help you out.
