Abstract
Let be a finite undirected multigraph with no self-loops. The Jacobian is a finite abelian group associated with whose cardinality is equal to the number of spanning trees of . There are only a finite number of biconnected graphs such that the exponent of equals or . The definition of a Jacobian can also be extended to regular matroids as a generalization of graphs. We prove that there are finitely many connected regular matroids such that has exponent and characterize all such matroids.
