Abstract: Let $ \mathbf{G}$ be a reductive connected algebraic group over an algebraic closure of a finite field of characteristic $ p$. Let $ F$ be a Frobenius endomorphism on $ \mathbf{G}$ and write $ G := \mathbf{G}^F$ for the corresponding finite group of Lie type.

We consider projective characters of $ G$ in characteristic $ p$ of the form $ St \cdot \beta$, where $ \beta$ is an irreducible Brauer character and $ St$ the Steinberg character of $ G$.

Let $ M$ be a rational $ \mathbf{G}$-module affording $ \beta$ on restriction to $ G$. We say that $ M$ is $ G$-regular if for every $ F$-stable maximal torus $ \mathbf{T}$ distinct weight spaces of $ M$ are non-isomorphic $ \mathbf{T}^F$-modules. We show that if $ M$ is $ G$-regular of dimension $ d$, then the lift of $ St \cdot \beta$ decomposes as a sum of $ d$ regular characters of $ G$.
