Products of involutions in symplectic groups I: bireflections

Abstract

We classify bireflectional elements (products of 2 involutions) in symplectic groups Sp(2n, K) over a field K. We also classify rev ersible elements (elements conjugate to their inverses) and bireflectional elements in finite projective symplectic groups PSp(2n,q).
