Nov 20, 2019 at 20:46 comment added Isaac I am still waiting on a response to the last question.
Nov 10, 2019 at 6:18 comment added Isaac The action of $2^7:Sp (6,2) $ ( constructed as a 8×8 matrix group within Sp (8,2)) on $2^8$ forms 4 orbits of elements of $2^8$. I checked it with GAP. What do we call this action?
Nov 9, 2019 at 22:51 comment added Derek Holt No, as I said , that subgroup is the stabilizer of a vector. It also stabilizes a $7$-dimensional subspace (which is the space orthogonal to the fixed vector under the symplectic form), and the subgroup ${\rm Sp}(6,2)$ acts in its natural action on the $6$-dimensional quotient of the $7$- by the $1$-dimensional fixed spaces.
Nov 9, 2019 at 16:14 comment added Isaac So we can then consider $2^8$ as the vector space V(8,2) where upon $2^7:$Sp (6,2) acts as an eight dimensional matrix group over GF (2). I suppose this action is not irreducible.
