ABSTRACT

We describe the structure of Sylow $\ell$-subgroups of a finite reductive group $\mathbf G(\mathbb F_q)$ when $q\not\equiv 0 \pmod \ell$ that we find governed by a complex reflection group attached to $\mathbf G$ and $\ell$, which depends on $\ell$ only through the set of cyclotomic factors of the generic order of $\mathbf G(\mathbb F_q)$ whose value at $q$ is divisible by $\ell$. We also tackle the more general case of groups $\mathbf G^F$ where $F$ is an isogeny some power of which is a Frobenius morphism.
