Abstract

In this paper, an alternate module (A,ϕ)(A,\phi) is a finite abelian group AA with a Z\mathbb{Z}-bilinear application ϕ:A×AQ/Z\phi:A\times A\rightarrow \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z} which is alternate (i.e. zero on the diagonal). We shall prove that any alternate module is subsymplectic, i.e. if (A,ϕ)(A,\phi) has a Lagrangian of cardinal nn then there exists an abelian group BB of order nn such that (A,ϕ)(A,\phi) is a submodule of the standard symplectic module B×BB\times B^*.
