Center Preserving Automorphisms of Finite Heisenberg Group over $\mathbb Z_N$
Abstract
We investigate the group structure of center-preserving automorphisms of the finite Heisenberg group over $\mathbb Z_N$ with $U(1)$ extension, which arises in finite-dimensional quantum mechanics on a discrete phase space. Constructing an explicit splitting, it is shown that, for $N=2(2k+1)$, the group is isomorphic to the semidirect product of $Sp_N$ and $\mathbb Z_N^2$. Moreover, when N is divisible by $2^l (l \ge 2)$, the group has a non-trivial 2-cocycle, and its explicit form is provided. By utilizing the splitting, it is demonstrated that the corresponding projective Weil representation can be lifted to linear representation.
