โฆ Synopsis
A. E. Brouwer has shown that the universal embedding of the Sp 2n (2) dual polar space has dimension at least (2 n +1)(2 n&1 +1)ร3 and has conjectured equality. The present paper settles this conjecture in the affirmative by proving a theorem about permutation modules for GL n (2) which implies the reverse inequality.

A. E. Brouwer has shown that the universal embedding of the U 2n (2) dual polar space has dimension at least (4 n +2)/3 and has conjectured equality. The present paper proves this conjecture by establishing a related result about permutation modules for GL n (4). The method is the same used in the a
It is demonstrated that the dual polar space of type Sp(2n, 2) can be generated as a geometry by 3 points when n = 4 and 5. In the latter case this affirmatively resolves a conjecture of Brouwer that the dimension of the universal projective embedding of this geometry is ฮป(5).
It is demonstrated that the generating rank of the dual polar space of type U 2n (q 2 ) is 2n n when q > 2. It is also shown that this is equal to the embedding rank of this geometry.
