Review text

Let \(G\) be finite group with a \(BN\)-pair \((B,N)\), and let its Weyl group \(W\) be generated by a set \(S\) of involutions. There exists a canonical bijection between the irreducible complex representations of \(W\) and the irreducible constituents of the induced representation \(1^ G_ B\) [see \textit{C. W. Curtis}, \textit{N. Iwahori} and \textit{R. Kilmoyer}, Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 40, 81-116 (1971; Zbl 0254.20004)]. The reflection representation \(\pi(G)\) is the constituent of \(1^ G_ B\) corresponding to the natural representation \(\rho\in \hbox{Irr }W\) of dimension \(| S|\); the element \(\rho(s)\) is a reflection for each \(s\in S\). In the paper under review a module which affords \(\pi(G)\) is constructed explicitly for a finite Chevalley group \(G\) with the root system of type \(A\), \(D\) or \(E\). A formula for the restriction of \(\pi(G)\) to a standard parabolic subgroup \(P_ J\) associated with a set \(J\subseteq S\) is obtained. If \(J=\emptyset\) or \(| J|=1\), this formula is quite explicit.
