Endo-\(p\)-permutation modules. (Q2460812): Difference between revisions

Let \(k\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>0\), and let \(G\) be a finite group. The author calls a \(kG\)-module \(M\) an endo-\(p\)-permutation module if its restriction to every \(p\)-subgroup \(Q\) of \(G\) is an endo-permutation \(kQ\)-module. He shows that an indecomposable \(kG\)-module \(M\) with vertex \(P\) and \(P\)-source \(S\) is an endo-\(p\)-permutation module if and only if \(S\) is an endo-permutation module whose class \(s=[S]\) in the Dade group \(D(P)\) is \(G\)-stable. This means that \(\text{Res}_{{^xP}\cap P}^{^xP}(s)=\text{Res}_{{^xP}\cap P}^P(s)\) for all \(x\in G\). Using results by Bouc and others, the author then computes the fixed points in \(D(P)\), of a finite group \(H\) acting on \(P\). Whereas this is relatively straightforward for \(p>2\), it requires considerable work in the case \(p=2\). The author also gives an example which shows that the Green correspondent of an endo-\(p\)-permutation module is not necessarily an endo-\(p\)-permutation module.
