Representations of finite groups of Lie type (20C33)

Abstract: We show that the decomposition matrix of unipotent $ell$-blocks of a finite reductive group $mathbfG(mathbb{F}_q)$ has a unitriangular shape, assuming $q$ is a power of a good prime and $ell$ is very good for $mathbfG$. This was conjectured by Geck in 1990 as part of his PhD thesis. We establish this result by constructing projective modules using a modification of generalised Gelfand--Graev characters introduced by Kawanaka. We prove that each such character has at most one unipotent constituent which occurs with multiplicity one. This establishes a 30 year old conjecture of Kawanaka.
