A plethysm formula on the characteristic map of induced linear characters from \(U_n(\mathbb F_q)\) to \(GL(\mathbb F_q)\). (Q396810)

Summary: This paper gives a plethysm formula on the characteristic map of the induced linear characters from the unipotent upper-triangular matrices \(U_n(\mathbb F_q)\) to \(GL_n(\mathbb F_q)\), the general linear group over finite field \(\mathbb F_q\). The result turns out to be a multiple of a twisted version of the Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions \(\widetilde P_n[Y;q]\). A recurrence relation is also given which makes it easy to carry out the computation.
