Let \(G\) be either \(\text{GL}_n(q)\) or \(\text{SO}^+_{2n}(q)\), where \(q>3\) is odd. The main result of the paper decomposes the exterior square and the symmetric square of the reflection representation, i.e., the nontrivial unipotent complex representation of smallest degree, of \(G\) into irreducible constituents. Except for one constituent with multiplicity two in the symmetric square for \(G=\text{GL}_n(q)\), all the other constituents appear in these squares with multiplicity one. To decompose the tensor square, the authors rely on the Howe correspondence and Kudla's theory of certain see-saw dual pairs. Then computations using explicit realizations of the reflection representations lead to the decompositions for the exterior and symmetric squares.
