Abstract: Let ${mathbfG}^F$ be a finite group of Lie type, where $mathbfG$ is a reductive group defined over $overline{mathbbF}_q$ and $F$ is a Frobenius root. Lusztig's Jordan decomposition parametrises the irreducible characters in a rational series$mathcalE({mathbfG}^F,(s{)}_{{mathbfG}^{\ast F^{\ast }}})$ where $sin{mathbfG}^{\ast F^{\ast }}$ by the series $mathcalE(C_{{mathbfG}^{\ast }}(s{)}^{F^{\ast }},1)$.We conjecture that the Shintani twisting preserves the space of class functions generated by the union of the $mathcalE({mathbfG}^F,(s^{\prime }{)}_{{mathbfG}^{\ast F^{\ast }}})$ where$(s^{\prime }{)}_{{mathbfG}^{\ast F^{\ast }}}$ runs over the semi-simple classes of ${mathbfG}^{\ast F^{\ast }}$ geometrically conjugate to $s$;further, extending the Jordan decomposition by linearity to this space, we conjecture that there is a way to fix Jordan decomposition such that it maps the Shintani twisting to the Shintani twisting on disconnected groups defined by Deshpande, which acts on the linear span of $copro{d}_{s^{\prime }}mathcalE(C_{{mathbfG}^{\ast }}(s^{\prime }{)}^{F^{\ast }},1)$. We show a non-trivial case of this conjecture, the case where $mathbfG$ is of type $A_{n-1}$with $n$ prime.
