Abstract: Symplectic spinors were discovered by Segal and Shale in 1962 in the realm of quantum physics and by Weil in 1964 in the realm of analysis on p-adic groups and number theory. They were incorporated into global analysis and geometry some decades after that.

We treat a sheaf resolution of symplectic spinors and a sheaf sub-resolution induced by symplectic connections and by symplectic Ricci-type connections, respectively. The latter named connections (also called symplectic Weyl-flat and symplectic curvature reducible) were investigated in differential geometry a) as parallel notions to Weyl- and Ricci-type connections known in the Riemannian case, and also b) for the aims of geometric quantization.

We introduce the resolutions and induced complexes, using a modest amount of representation theory. Besides giving theorems on them, we mention their Riemannian counterparts regarding their existence.
