Abstract

Kirillov's orbit theory provides a powerful tool for the investigation of irreducible unitary representations of many classes of Lie groups. In a previous paper we used a modification hereof, called monomial linearisation, to construct a monomial basis of the regular representation of pp-Sylow subgroups UU of the finite classical groups of untwisted type. In this sequel to this article we determine the stabilizers of special orbit generators and show, that for the groups of Lie type Bn{\mathfrak{B}}_n and Dn{\mathfrak{D}}_n a subclass of the orbit modules decompose the UU-modules affording the Andr\'{e}-Neto supercharacters into a direct sum of submodules. Moreover these special orbit modules are either isomorphic or have no irreducible constituent in common, and each irreducible UU module is up to isomorphism constituent of precisely one of these.
