The authors investigate general properties of Cartan invariants of a finite group \(G\) in characteristic~2. One of their results shows that the Cartan matrix of \(G\) in characteristic~2 contains an odd diagonal entry if and only if \(G\) contains a real element of 2-defect 0. They apply their results to 2-blocks of symmetric groups and to blocks with normal or Abelian defect groups. The second part of the paper deals with annihilators of certain ideals in centers of group algebras and blocks.
