Publication date: 18 February 2017

Abstract: Let

be a simply connected semisimple algebraic group over

, the algebraically closure of

m a t h b b F_{q}

(the finite field with

q = p^{e}

elements), and

F

be the standard Frobenius map. Let

be an

F

-stable Borel subgroup and

an

F

-stable maximal torus contained in

. Set

and

for any

r > 0

. This paper studies the original induced module

(here

is the group algebra of the group

, and

l a m b d a

is a rational character of

regarded as a

-module). We show that if

l a m b d a

is regular and dominant, then there is a surjective

-module homomorphism

for any

r > 0

, where

o p S t

is the infinite dimensional Steinberg module defined by Nanhua Xi. As a consequence, we show that

is irreducible if

l a m b d a

if and only if

l a m b d a

is regular and antidominant. Moreover, for

and

0 < l a m b d a < p

, we show that

have infinite many composition factors with each finite dimensional. Consequently, we find certain

l a m b d a

for which

has an infinite submodule filtration for the general
