We study the algebra Sp([ital n],[ital R]) of the symplectic model, in particular for the cases [ital n]=1,2,3, in a new way. Starting from the Poisson-bracket realization we derive a set of partial differential equations for the generators as functions of classical canonical variables. We obtain a solution to these equations that represents the classical limit of a boson mapping of the algebra. We show further that this mapping plays a fundamental role in the collective description of many-fermion systems whose Hamiltonian may be approximated by polynomials in the associated algebra, as is done in the simplest versions of the symplectic model. The relationship to the collective dynamics is formulated as a theorem that associates the mapping with an exact solution of the time-dependent Hartree approximation. This solution determines a decoupled classical symplectic manifold, thus satisfying the criteria that define an exactly solvable model in the theory of large amplitude collective motion. The models thus obtained also provide a test of methods for constructing an approximately decoupled manifold in fully realistic cases. We show that an algorithm developed in one of our earlier works reproduces the main results of the theorem.
