Abstract: Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over a finite field mathbbFq. In the 1980s, Kawanaka introduced the generalized Gelfand-Graev representations (GGGRs for short) of the finite group GF in the case where q is a power of a good prime for GF. An essential feature of GGGRs is that they are very closely related to the (Kawanaka) wavefront sets of the irreducible representations pi of GF. In cite[Theorem 11.2]{L7}, Lusztig showed that if a nilpotent element XinGF is ``large for an irreducible representation pi, then the representation pi appears with ``small multiplicity in the GGGR associated to X. In this paper, we prove that for unitary groups, if X is the wavefront of pi, the multiplicity equals one, which generalizes the multiplicity one result of usual Gelfand-Graev representations. Moreover, we give an algorithm to decompose GGGRs for extrmUn(mathbbFq) and calculate the extrmU4(mathbbFq) case by this algorithm.
