There are elements in the extended groups which square to a regular unipotent element, and we evaluate the values of irreducible characters of the extended groups on these elements. Several intermediate results on real conjugacy classes and real-valued characters of these groups are obtained along the way.27 pagesRepresentation TheoryGroup Theory20G05; 20G40Extending real-valued characters of finite general linear and unitary groups on elements related to regular unipotentstext
