Structure of symplectic group over finite fields

You can find tables of the maximal subgroups of all (almost) simple classical groups in dimensions up to $12$ in the book: The Maximal Subgroups of the Low-Dimensional Finite Classical Groups, John N …

Symplectic groups $Sp_{2m}(2)$ as $2$-transitive permutation (i.e. Galois) groups

Both of these actions are 2-primitive, so the 1-point stabilizer acts primitively on the remaining points. The 1-point stabilizers in the two actions are the orthogonal groups ${\rm SO}^{\pm}_{2m}(q) …

Normalisers and stabilisers in classical groups $\operatorname{PGL}_{4}$

The difference between the examples arises principally because $5 \equiv 1 \bmod 4$ and $3 \equiv 3 \bmod 4$. For $q \equiv 1 \bmod 4$, $G := {\rm GL}(4,q)$ has centre $Z$ divisible by $4$, and conta …
