Abstract

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic two. Let R be the ring of Witt vectors of length two over k. We construct a group stack Ĝ over k, the metaplectic extension of the Greenberg realization of . We also construct a geometric analogue of the Weil representation of Ĝ, this is a triangulated category on which Ĝ acts by functors. This triangulated category and the action are geometric in a suitable sense.
