Orbit lengths and character degrees in \(p\)-Sylow subgroups of some classical Lie groups (Q1904232)

Let \(G\) denote \(\text{SL}(n,q)\) or \(\text{Sp}(2n,q)\), the linear or symplectic group over \(\mathbb{F}_q\), \(q\) a power of \(p\). Let \(B\) be a \(p\)-Sylow subgroup of \(G\). The author determines the set of conjugacy class lengths of a suitable normal abelian subgroup \(U\) of \(B\) and uses this information to get the character degree of \(B\).
