Abstract
Let be a finite-dimensional split basic algebra over a finite field with odd characteristic, and assume that is endowed with an involution . We determine the degrees of the irreducible characters of the group where is the unit group of , and prove that every irreducible character of is induced by a linear character of some subgroup. As a particular case, our results hold for the Sylow -subgroups of the finite classical groups of Lie type, and extend (in a uniform way) the results obtained by B. Szegedy in [11].
