The authors prove a conjecture of A. E. Brouwer (1990) which states that the dimension of the universal embedding of the DSp\(_{2n}(2)\) dual polar space is \((2^n + 1)(2^{n - 1} + 1)/3\). This theorem was proved at the same time by \textit{Paul Li} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 94, No. 1, 100-117 (2001; Zbl 0999.51002)], using a fundamentally different approach.
