Abstract

Let G{\bf G} be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over a finite field Fq\mathbb{F}_q of qq elements, and B{\bf B} be a Borel subgroup of G{\bf G} defined over Fq\mathbb{F}_q. Let k\Bbbk be a field and we assume that k=Fˉq\Bbbk=\bar{\mathbb{F}}_q when char k=char Fq\text{char}\ \Bbbk=\text{char} \ \mathbb{F}_q. We show that the abstract induced module M(θ)=kGkBθ\mathbb{M}(\theta)=\Bbbk{\bf G}\otimes_{\Bbbk{\bf B}}\theta (here kH\Bbbk{\bf H} is the group algebra of H{\bf H} over the field k\Bbbk and θ\theta is a character of B{\bf B} over k\Bbbk) has a composition series (of finite length) if char kchar Fq\text{char}\ \Bbbk\ne \text{char} \ \mathbb{F}_q. In the case k=Fˉq\Bbbk=\bar{\mathbb{F}}_q and θ\theta is a rational character, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a composition series (of finite length) of M(θ)\mathbb{M}(\theta). We determine all the composition factors whenever a composition series exists. Thus we obtain a large class of abstract infinite-dimensional irreducible kG\Bbbk{\bf G}-modules.
