Let be a continuous loop with such that for all , where is the last basis vector of the -block of . Then there are a continuous loop with and a continuous with
Here is the block-diagonal embedding , .
Thus every based loop in the stabiliser of is homotopic, through based symplectic loops, to a loop coming from .

/-- A loop in `Sp(2n + 2)` based at `Id` that fixes the basis vector `e = q_{n+1}` is homotopic,
through loops in `Sp(2n + 2)` based at `Id`, to a loop `B' ⋄ Id` with `B'` a loop in `Sp(2n)`
