A first characterization of the isomorphism classes of k-involutions for any reductive algebraic groups defined over a perfect field was given by A. G. Helminck [On the Classification of k-involutions I, Adv. in Math. 153 (2000) 1--117] using 3 invariants. In another paper of A. G. Helminck, Ling Wu and C. Dometrius [Involutions of Sl(n, k), (n > 2), Acta Appl. Math. 90 (2006) 91--119] a classification of all involutions on SL(n,k) for k algebraically closed, the real numbers, the p-adic numbers or a finite field was provided. In this paper, we build on these results to develop a detailed characterization of the involutions of SP(2n,k). We use these results to classify the isomorphy classes of involutions of SP(2n, k) where k is any field not of characteristic 2.
