Blocks whose defect groups are Suzuki 2-groups
A Suzuki \(2\)-group is a non-abelian \(2\)-group with more than one involution, having an automorphism \(\alpha\) which permutes its involutions transitively. Such a term was introduced by \textit{G. Higman} [Ill. J. Math. 7, 79--96 (1963; Zbl 0112.02107)], where he showed that if \(P\) is a Suzuki \(2\)-group, then \(\Omega_{1}(P)=Z(P)=P'=\Phi(P)\), so that \(P\) is of exponent \(4\) and class \(2\). Moreover, if the order of \(\alpha\) is \(q-1\), then \(q\) is a power of \(2\), the number of involutions of \(P\) is \(q\) and \(|P|=q^{2}\) or \(|P|=q^{3}\). The Suzuki \(2\)-groups include the Sylow \(2\)-subgroups of \(\mathrm{Sz}(q)\) (with \(|P|=q^{2}\)) and of \(\mathrm{PSU}_{3}(q)\) (with \(|P|=q^{3}\)).\N\NIn the paper under review, the author determines the Morita equivalence classes of blocks whose defect groups are Suzuki \(2\)-groups.\N\NLet \(p\) be a prime and \((K,\mathcal{O}, k)\) be a modular system with \(k\) an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p\). Donovan's conjecture, which may be stated over \(\mathcal{O}\) or \(k\) (the transition from \(k\) to \(\mathcal{O}\) is non-trivial), predicts that for a given finite \(p\)-group \(P\), there are only finitely many Morita equivalence classes of blocks of finite groups with defect groups isomorphic to \(P\). The conjecture is known to be true when \(p=2\) and \(P\) is dihedral, semi-dihedral or quaternion [\textit{K. Erdmann}, Blocks of tame representation type and related algebras. Berlin etc.: Springer-Verlag (1990; Zbl 0696.20001)]. For other cases, see the paper by the author and \textit{M. Livesey} [J. Algebra 582, 157--176 (2021; Zbl 1535.20060)].\N\NAs an important corollary of the main result, the author shows that Donovan's conjecture holds in the case where \(P\) is a Suzuki \(2\)-group. It is clear that the path to a general proof of the conjecture will be fraught with difficulties.
