Abstract: Let $(X,omega)$ be a compact symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$ and let $Ham(X,omega)$ be its group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. We prove the existence of a constant $C$, depending on $X$ but not on $omega$, such that any finite subgroup $GsubsetHam(X,omega)$ has an abelian subgroup $AsubseteqG$ satisfying $[G:A]leqC$, and $A$ can be generated by $n$ elements or fewer. If $b_1(X)=0$ we prove an analogous statement for the entire group of symplectomorphisms of $(X,omega)$. If $b_1(X)eq0$ we prove the existence of a constant $C^{\prime }$ depending only on $X$ such that any finite subgroup $GsubsetSymp(X,omega)$ has a subgroup $NsubseteqG$ which is either abelian or $2$-step nilpotent and which satisfies $[G:N]leq{C}^{\prime }$. These results are deduced from the classification of the finite simple groups, the topological rigidity of hamiltonian loops, and the following theorem, which we prove in this paper. Let $E$ be a complex vector bundle over a compact, connected, smooth and oriented manifold $M$; suppose that the real rank of $E$ is equal to the dimension of $M$, and that $langlee(E),[M]angleeq0$, where $e(E)$ is the Euler class of $E$; then there exists a constant $$ such that, for any prime $p$ and any finite $p$-group $G$ acting on $E$ by vector bundle automorphisms preserving an almost complex structure on $M$, there is a subgroup $G_{0}subseteqG$ satisfying $M^{G_0}eqemptyset$ and $$.
