DESCRIPTION:G a finite group of Lie type\, B a Borel subgroup of G\, and U
  the unipotent radical of B. The endomorphism algebra of the induced modul
 e afforded by a linear regular character of U is called Gelfand-Graev alge
 bra. I will first recall some background about finite groups of Lie type a
 nd some representation theory. Then I move to the main feature of this tal
 k\, that is to show an explicit construction of a basis for the Gelfand-Gr
 aev algebra as a vector space\, for G a Chevalley group\, and to point out
  the efforts towards another proof of the commutativity of this algebra. I
 n fact\, the only known proof in literature cannot be used to get informat
 ion about similar algebras\, constructed from parabolic subgroups. I will 
 finish briefly explaining this kind of generalization.\n
