Abstract: Let $U=U_n(q)$ be the group of lower unitriangular $nimesn$-matrices with entries in the field $mathbb{F}_q$ with $q$ elements for some prime power $q$ and $ninmathbbN$. We investigate the restriction to $U$ of the permutation action of $G{L}_n(q)$ on flags in the natural $G{L}_n(q)$-module $mathbb{F}_q^n$. Applying our results to the special case of flags of length two we obtain a complete decomposition of the permutation representation of $G{L}_n(q)$ on the cosets of maximal parabolic subgroups into irreducible $mathbbCU$-modules.

Review text

Let \(U=U_n(q)\) be the group of lower unitriangular \(n\times n\) matrices over the Galois field \(\mathbb F_q\) for some prime power \(q\) and \(n\in\mathbb N\). The restriction to \(U\) of the permutation action of the group \(\mathrm{GL}_n(q)\) on flags in the natural \(\mathrm{GL}_n(q)\)-module \(\mathbb F_q^n\) is investigated. These results are applied to the case of flags of length two to obtain a complete decomposition of the permutation representation of \(\mathrm{GL}_n(q)\) on the cosets of maximal parabolic subgroups into irreducible \(\mathbb CU\)-modules.
