Abstract:
This note is concerned with the unipotent characters of the Ree groups of type G2. We determine the roots of unity associated by Lusztig and Digne-Michel to each unipotent character for and prove that the Fourier matrix of defined by Geck and Malle satisfies a conjecture of Digne-Michel. Our main tool is the Shintani descent of Ree groups of type G2.
