Representations of finite pattern groups

Abstract: Let

G = 1 + A

be a finite pattern group over the finite field

{m a t h b b F}_{q}

. We give a natural bijection between coadjoint orbits of

G

and its equivalent classes of irreducible representations. More precisely, given any

T i n A^{t}

, viewed as a representative of associated coadjoint orbit

{m a t h f r a k O}_{T}

of

G

, we can explicitly construct a subgroup

H_{T}

of

G

, such that

{m a t h r m I n d}_{H_{T}}^{G} p s i_{T}

is irreducible and

{m a t h r m I n d}_{H_{T}}^{G} p s i_{T} c o n g {m a t h r m I n d}_{H_{T^{'}}}^{G} p s i_{T^{'}}

if and only if

T

and

T^{'}

are in the same coadjoint orbit. Here

p s i_{T} (x) = p s i (m a t h r m t r T x) e x t f o r x i n H_{T},

and

p s i

is a fixed nontrivial additive character of

{m a t h b b F}_{q}

.
