Let G be a finite group of Lie type. Assume G is also of universal type. Is the Steinberg representation of G generic, i.e., does the Steinberg representation admit a Whittaker model?
A Whittaker model for a representation of G is defined in a similar fashion as in the case of GL(2, F) in Bump's "Automorphic Forms and Representations." I am interested in the genericity of the Steinberg representation of a group of matrices over a finite field.
