A reduction of the boson representation of the algebra of the noncompact group Sp(4k,R), k>0, to its subgroup SU(k) is realized. The reduction scheme has two main branches: one through the totally symmetric unitary representations of the maximal compact subalgebra u(2k); the other through the ladder representations of the noncompact subalgebra u(k,k). Both reductions are accomplished by means of the same set of Hermitian operators, but taken in different order. The case of k=3, for the group Sp(12, R), used in the interacting vector boson model, is discussed in more detail.
