I'd like to gain some understanding of unitary representations of GL(n) over finite fields. Any good source would be appreciated. ======== edit ========= My original question was ambiguous. ...

$\def\FF{\mathbb{F}}\def\CC{\mathbb{C}}\def\QQ{\mathbb{Q}}\def\Sp{\text{Sp}}\def\SL{\text{SL}}\def\GL{\text{GL}}\def\PGL{\text{PGL}}$Let $p$ be an odd prime. The Weil representation is a $p^k$-...

Let $\mathbf{F}_q$ ($q=p^f$) be a finite field. We are interested in the characters $\chi: \mathbf{F}_q\rightarrow \mathbf{K}$ ($\chi(0)=0$) where the $ \mathbf{K}$ is an alg.closed field of ...

Denote the symmetric group of order $n!$ by $S_n$. Let $H:=S_p$ for an odd prime $p$. Every finite field $k$ is a splitting field $(^*)$ for $kH$, in particular $k:=\mathbb{F}_p$. Questions: Is $k:=\...
