Fourier Transforms of Invariant Functions on Finite Reductive Lie Algebras

The study of Fourier transforms of invariant functions on finite reductive Lie algebras has been initiated by T.A. Springer (1976) in connection with the geometry of nilpotent orbits. In this book the author studies Fourier transforms using Deligne-Luszti

Preface

The present work is about the study of the trigonometric sums on finite reductive Lie algebras of Chevalley’s type in the sense of [Spr76]. This subject has been introduced to me by my supervisors Gus Lehrer and Jean Michel in connection with [Leh96][Leh97] while I was starting my PhD under a cotutelle agreement between the university Paris 6 and the university of Sydney. The required background is the standard knowledge of the theory of connected reductive groups and finite groups of Lie type [Spr]. It is a great pleasure to thank my supervisors Gus Lehrer and Jean Michel for their precious advices throughout the elaboration of this work. I am also very grateful to all the others who red the first drafts and suggested improvements, particularly A. Henderson, T. Shoji, J. van Hamel and the editor. Finally I would like to thank G. Lusztig who invented the theory I use in this book. The preparation of this work has been conducted at the following places: “Equipe des groupes finis”(Institut de math´ematiques de Jussieu, Paris), university of Sydney, LAMFA (universit´e de Picardie Jules-Verne), Sophia university (Tokyo). It is a pleasure to thank the previously named institutes for their hospitality. I am grateful to the AEAP (Australian European Award Program), the French ministry of research and to JSPS (Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science) for their generous support.
