Abstract

Let G=1+AG=1+A be a finite pattern group over the finite field Fq{\mathbb{F}}_q. We give a natural bijection between coadjoint orbits of GG and its equivalent classes of irreducible representations. More precisely, given any TAtT\in A^t, viewed as a representative of associated coadjoint orbit OT{\mathfrak{O}}_T of GG, we can explicitly construct a subgroup HTH_T of GG, such that IndHTGψT{\mathrm{Ind}}_{H_T}^G \psi_T is irreducible and IndHTGψTIndHTGψT{\mathrm{Ind}}_{H_T}^G \psi_T \cong {\mathrm{Ind}}_{H_{T'}}^G \psi_{T'} if and only if TT and T T' are in the same coadjoint orbit. Here ψT(x)=ψ(trTx) for xHT,\psi_T(x)=\psi({\mathrm{tr}} Tx)\text{ for }x\in H_T, and ψ\psi is a fixed nontrivial additive character of Fq{\mathbb{F}}_q.
