Abstract: This is a contribution to the study of operatornameIrr(G) as an operatornameAut(G)-set for G a finite quasi-simple group. Focusing on the last open case of groups of Lie type mathrmD and 2mathrmD, a crucial property is the so-called condition A′(infty) expressing that diagonal automorphisms and graph-field automorphisms of G have transversal orbits in operatornameIrr(G). This is part of the stronger A(infty) condition introduced in the context of the reduction of the McKay conjecture to a question on quasi-simple groups. Our main theorem is that a minimal counter-example to condition A(infty) for groups of type mathrmD would still satisfy A′(infty). This will be used in a second paper to fully establish A(infty) for any type and rank. The present paper uses Harish-Chandra induction as a parametrization tool. We give a new, more effective proof of the theorem of Geck and Lusztig ensuring that cuspidal characters of arbitrary standard Levi subgroups of G=mathrmDl,mathrmsc(q) extend to their stabilizers in the normalizer of that Levi subgroup. This allows to control the action of automorphisms on these extensions. From there Harish Chandra theory leads naturally to a detailed study of associated relative Weyl groups and other extendibility problems in that context.
