If Sp(V) is the symplectic group of a vector space V over a finite field of characteristic p, and r is a positive integer, the abelian p-subgroups of largest order in Sp(V) whose fixed subspaces in V have dimension at least r were determined in the preceding paper, in the case p ≠ 2. Here we deal with the case p = 2. Our results also complete earlier work on the orthogonal groups.
