Abstract In 1878, Jordan showed that a finite subgroup of GL(n,ℂ)${\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb {C})}$ must possess an abelian normal subgroup whose index is bounded by a function of n alone. In previous papers, the author obtained optimal bounds; in particular, a generic bound (n+1)!${(n+1)!}$ was obtained when n≥71${n\ge 71}$ , achieved by the symmetric group Sn+1. In this paper, analogous bounds are obtained for the finite subgroups of the complex symplectic and orthogonal groups. In the case of Sp(2n,ℂ)${\operatorname{Sp}(2n,\mathbb {C})}$ the optimal bound is (60) n ·n!${(60)^{n}\cdot n!}$ , achieved by the wreath product SL 2 (5)wrS n ${\operatorname{SL}_{2}(5)\operatorname{wr}S_{n}}$ acting naturally on the direct sum of n 2-dimensional spaces; for the orthogonal groups O(n,ℂ)${\mathrm {O}(n,\mathbb {C})}$ , the generic linear group bound of (n+1)!${(n+1)!}$ is achieved as soon as n≥25${n\ge 25}$ .
