Abstract: If $mathscrJ$ is a finite-dimensional nilpotent algebra over a finite field $Bbbk$, the algebra group $P=1+mathscrJ$ admits a (standard) supercharacter theory as defined by Diaconis and Isaacs. If $mathscrJ$ is endowed with an involution $widehatvarsigma$, then $widehatvarsigma$ naturally defines a group automorphism of $P=1+mathscrJ$, and we may consider the fixed point subgroup $C_P(widehatvarsigma)=xinP:widehatvarsigma(x)=x^{-1}$. Assuming that $Bbbk$ has odd characteristic $p$, we use the standard supercharacter theory for $P$ to construct a supercharacter theory for $C_P(widehatvarsigma)$. In particular, we obtain a supercharacter theory for the Sylow $p$-subgroups of the finite classical groups of Lie type, and thus extend in a uniform way the construction given by Andr'e and Neto for the special case of the symplectic and orthogonal groups.
