An example of a Deligne–Lusztig variety for a general linear group
Take $G=\operatorname{GL}_3$, defined over the algebraic closure of a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and let $X$ be the set of Borel subgroups of $G$.
The Frobenius morphism $F:G\to G$ induces a map $F:...

(Why) are Deligne-Lusztig varieties nonempty?
Background: Let $G$ be a reductive $\mathbb F_q$-group and let $X$ be the variety of Borel subgroups of $G$. By the Bruhat decomposition, the $G$-orbits in the space $X\times X$ (with diagonal action) ...

Duals of unipotent characters of classical finite groups of Lie type in terms of Lusztig's symbols
The irreducible unipotent characters of classical finite groups of Lie type have been classified by Lusztig using the combinatorical notion of "symbols", see "Irreducible ...

Intuitive reason that the regular representation is a uniform function
Corollary 12.14 of Digne-Michel's book Representations of finite groups of Lie type gives various decompositions of the regular representation $\operatorname{reg}_G$ in terms of the Deligne-Lusztig ...

Frobenius reciprocity for Deligne-Lusztig induction/restriction
I am currently trying to understand the properties of Deligne-Lusztig induction, following Carter's Finite groups of Lie type and Digne-Michel's Representations of finite groups of Lie type. I am ...

$\ell$-adic cohomology of a quotient by group action
Suppose $Y \to Y/G$ is the Galois cover induced from a finite group $G$ acting on a scheme $Y$ and that this is indeed a Galois cover with $Y/G$ a scheme. In my case $Y$ is the Drinfeld curve $\mathrm{...

cuspidal unipotent representation in small characteristic
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q=p^r$ and $p$ prime. Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Is there a difference between the theory of unipotent cuspidal ...

Representations of $\text{SL}_n(q)$ of degree $q^{O(n)}$
Every representation of $A_n$ of degree $n^{O(1)}$ is contained in a $O(1)$ tensor power of the defining permutation representation. Is there an analogous result for classical groups of Lie type, say $...

a question on Deligne-Lusztig characters
Let $k$ be a finite field and $\bar k$ be its algebraic closure, and $F$ be the Frobenius map. Let $G$ be a reductive group over $\bar k$, $T$ be an $F$-invariant maximal torus of $G$, and $\theta$ be ...

semisimple support of character sheaves
So the essential question is:
How should we think about, or if possible compute, the semisimple
support of a cuspidal character sheaf?
For example, let $G=SL_2$. We have the cuspidal character ...

Naive question about classification of unipotent character sheaves
Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over (say) $\mathbb{C}$. The set $\hat{G}_u$ of isomorphism classes of unipotent irreducible character sheaves has some complicated classification in ...

On cuspidal maximal tori of a connected reductive group
Let $G$ be the base change of a connected reductive group over ${\mathbb{F}}_q$ to $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_q$, and let $F$ be the associated geometric Frobenius on $G$. Let $W$ be the Weyl group of a ...

An analogue of Deligne--Lusztig theory for real groups?
I am considering the following analogue of Deligne--Lusztig theory:
Take e.g. $G=GL_n(\mathbb{C})$, and let $F$ be the complex conjugate, then we have
$G^F=GL_n(\mathbb{R})$. Consider the ``Lang map''...

Deligne-Lusztig and Character sheaves
Consider: $G$ - a nice group ($GL_n$) over a finite field $F$. $X$ - the flag variety. Consider a nice $G$-equivariant $l$-adic sheaf $\mathcal{M}$ on $X \times X$, equipped with Weil structure.
Fix $...

A bijection between Lusztig series induced by inflation
Context:
Let $\pi: \widehat{G} \rightarrow G$ be a surjective morphism between connected reductive groups defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ whose kernel is a central torus. Then $\pi : \widehat{G}^F \...

Points on Deligne-Lusztig varieties: Interpreting Borels in relative position as flags with conditions
Background
I am studying the paper "On the Green polynomials of classical groups" by Lusztig, in which he computes the values of the Deligne-Lusztig representation, corresponding to a Coxeter element ...

Is the Gelfand-Graev character isomorphic to a cohomology group for some sheaf on a Deligne-Lusztig variety?
Deligne-Lusztig theory
is awesome. You take a maximal torus $T$, you take a character $\theta$, construct a variety $X_T$$^*$, take etale cohomology, get a virtual character $R_T^\theta$, maybe it's ...
