This allows us to extend a result of D. Prasad which relates the Frobenius-Schur indicator of a regular real-valued character to its central character. We apply these results to compute the Frobenius-Schur indicators of certain real-valued, irreducible, Frobenius-invariant Deligne-Lusztig characters, and the Frobenius-Schur indicators of real-valued regular and semisimple characters of finite unitary groups.Representation Theory20C33, 20G05Alvis-Curtis duality, central characters, and real-valued characterstext
