Blocks of finite groups and stable equivalences
The article presents the author's lecture: ``III. Blocks of finite groups and stable equivalences of the Proceedings of the 1998 Summer School on ``Representation theory of algebras, finite and reductive groups at ``Babes-Bolyai University Cluj.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThis lecture is devoted to modular representation theory of finite groups and presents basic concepts and (with indications of proofs) basic results that include: blocks, defect groups of a block, vertices and sources of a module, the Brauer homomorphism, Brauer pairs, the local structure and Brauer category of a block (Section 1). Then Section 2 outlines basic results on modules: induction from and restriction to a subgroup, Mackey decomposition and Higman's criterion for relative projectivity and basic results on a group acting on an algebra: \(G\)-algebras, interior \(G\)-algebras, and relative traces of J. A. Green. Section 3 presents fundamental concepts of: a \(G\)-algebra pointed group, the Brauer construction and source algebras of L. Puig, pointed group inclusion, local pointed groups, relative projectivity of pointed groups, defect group and defect pointed group of a pointed group and the Morita equivalence between the module categories of a block and its source algebra (which is an interior algebra for a defect group). In Section 4, the author uses the Brauer morphism and the trace map to demonstrate Brauer's First Main Theorem and the Green correspondence. In Section 5, the author introduces the stable category of an additive category with emphasis on the finite group block theory environment and describes results on self-injective \(k\)-algebras, stable equivalence of Morita type (due to M. Broué), stable equivalence of Morita type implying Morita equivalence, etc. Section 6 presents an application of these ideas and results to the trivial intersection case. The final Section 7 discusses the problem: for a given \(p\)-group \(P\), list all interior \(P\)-algebras up-to-isomorphism that are source algebras of a block of a finite group with \(P\) as a defect group. The cyclic and Klein four group cases are discussed here and the paper concludes with some suggested texts for further study.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0952.00029].
