This is related to my previous question <a href="http://mathoverflow.net/questions/182027/restricting-the-steinberg-representation-of-sl-2n-over-a-finite-field-to-the">here</a>. Let me remind you what that question asked: ----------------- Let $\text{St}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ be the Steinberg module (over $\mathbb{C}$) for $\text{SL}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$. What is the irreducible decomposition of the restriction of $\text{St}_{2n}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ to the symplectic group $\text{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{F}_q)$? -------------------- I got no answer, so I assume that this is an open question. This brings me to my new question. Let's say I wanted to calculate this for some small examples, say, $n=2$ and $q \in \{2,3,5\}$. Can this be done on a computer? I've tried to figure out how to do it with Magma and GAP, but this does not seem easy to me (this might just be my ignorance). Thanks!
