摘要
We prove that the finite exceptional groups F-4(q), E-7 (g)(ad), and Es(q) have no irreducible complex characters with Frobenius Schur indicator -1, and we list exactly which irreducible characters of these groups are not real-valued. We also give a complete list of complex irreducible characters of the Ree groups F-2(4)(q(2)) which are not real-valued, and we show the only character of this group which has Frobenius-Schur indicator -1 is the cuspidal unipotent character chi(21) found by Geck.
