Steinberg representation

In mathematics, the Steinberg representation, or Steinberg module or Steinberg character, denoted by St, is a particular linear representation of a reductive algebraic group over a finite field or local field, or a group with a BN-pair. It is analogous to the 1-dimensional ε of a Coxeter or Weyl group that takes all reflections to –1. For groups over finite fields, these representations were introduced by Robert Steinberg , first for the general linear groups, then for classical groups, and then for all Chevalley groups, with a construction that immediately generalized to the other groups of Lie type that were discovered soon after by Steinberg, Suzuki and Ree.Over a finite field of characteristic p, the Steinberg representation has degree equal to the largest power of p dividing the order of the group. The Steinberg representation is the Alvis–Curtis dual of the trivial 1-dimensional representation. , , and defined analogous Steinberg representations (sometimes called special representations) for algebraic groups over local fields. For the general linear group GL(2), the dimension of the Jacquet module of a special representation is always one. (Wikipedia).

Andrew Putman - The Steinberg representation is irreducible

The Steinberg representation is a topologically-defined representation of groups like GL_n(k) that plays a fundamental role in the cohomology of arithmetic groups. The main theorem I will discuss says that for infinite fields k, the Steinberg representation is irreducible. For finite field
