Summary:
For g ∈ N, let G = Sp (2g, Z) be the integral
symplectic group and S(g) be the set of all positive integers
which can occur as the order of an element in G. In this paper,
we show that S(g) is a bounded subset of R for all
positive integers g. We also study the growth of the functions
f(g) = |S(g)|, and h(g) = max {m ∈ N | m∈ S(g)}
and show that they have at least exponential growth.
