[For the entire collection see Zbl 0716.00007.] The principal goal of the article under review is to expose some results on explicit calculations of the decomposition numbers mentioned in the title. Let \(p\) be a prime, \(q=p^ k\), \(G\in\{SL_ n(q) (n>2), SU_ n(q) (n>2), Sp_{2m}(q) (m>1, p>2)\}\). For a field \(F\) let \(\Pi_ F\) be the linear \(F\)-representation of \(G\) associated with its permutation representation on vectors of the natural module \(V\). The decomposition numbers modulo \(p\) for irreducible components of \(\Pi_ \mathbb{C}\) (\(\mathbb{C}\) is the field of complex numbers) for \(G=SL_ n(q)\) and \(Sp_{2m}(q)\) and for those of Weil representations introduced by \textit{G. M. Seitz} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 10, 115-120 (1975; Zbl 0333.20039)] and \textit{H. N. Ward} [J. Algebra 20, 182-195 (1972; Zbl 0239.20013)] for \(G=SU_ n(q)\) and \(Sp_{2m}(q)\) are written down. Let \(P\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p\). For \(G=SL_ n(q)\) and \(Sp_{2m}(q)\) the composition factors of \(\Pi_ P\) and the analogue representation associated with the action of \(G\) on lines of \(V\) are also given. In the process of the proofs of these results some facts of independent interest concerning restrictions of certain representations of algebraic groups of type \(A_ n\) and \(C_ n\) over \(P\) to some subgroups were obtained. If \(\Omega\) is a set of dominant weights of an algebraic group \(X\), let \(R(\Omega)\) be the set of irreducible representations of \(X\) whose highest weights belong to \(\Omega\). The following restrictions \(\varphi| Y\) where \(\varphi\in R(\Omega)\) are discussed in the paper: 1) \(X=A_ n\), \(\Omega=(a\omega_ i+(p-1-a)\omega_{i+1}\mid 0\leq a<p, 0\leq i \leq n\}\), \(Y=A_{n-1}\) or \(n=2m-1\), \(Y=C_ m\); 2) \(X=C_ m\), \(p>2\), \(\Omega=\{\omega_{m-2}+(p-2)\omega_ m\), \(a\omega_ i+(p-1- a)\omega_{i+1}\mid 0\leq a<p, 0\leq i<m\}\), \(Y=C_{m-1}\); 3) \(X=C_ m\), \(p>2\), \(\Omega=\{((p-1)/2)\omega_ m, \omega_{m-1}+((p- 3)/2)\omega_ m\}\), \(Y=C_{n-1}\) or \(n=2m\), \(Y=\{\hbox{diag}(g,{^ tg^{-1}})\mid g\in SL_ m(P)\}\). Here \(\omega_ 0\) and \(\omega_{n+1}\) are interpreted as the zero weight, all embeddings \(Y\leq X\) are standard. The proofs of the results exposed in the paper are contained in the author's article [Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 54, No. 1, 26-41 (1990)] and in the joint works of the author and the reviewer [Izv. Akad. Nauk BSSR, Ser. Fiz.-Mat. Nauk 1987, No. 6, 9-15 (1987; Zbl 0708.20011), Sib. Mat. Zh. 31, No. 4, 33-46 (1990) and ibid., No. 5, 46-60 (1990)]. Reviewer's note. The author has communicated that there is a minor inaccuracy in the statement of Corollary 6.4. For \(p>2\) the number \(D(\zeta^ i,1)=2\) just when \(2n\equiv 0\pmod {p+1}\), \(i=0\) if \(n(p- 1)/2\equiv 0\pmod {p+1}\) and \(i=(p+1)/2\) otherwise. There is also a misprint in the comment between points 5.2 and 5.3. Here one has to read \(((p-1)/2)\omega_ n\) instead of \(((p-2)/2)\omega_ n\).
