Dihedral blocks with two simple modules.

Abstract: Let

k

be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2, and let

G

be a finite group. Suppose

B

is a block of

k G

with dihedral defect groups such that there are precisely two isomorphism classes of simple

B

-modules. The description by Erdmann of the quiver and relations of the basic algebra of

B

is usually only given up to a certain parameter

c

which is either 0 or 1. In this article, we show that

c = 0

if there exists a central extension

h a t G

of

G

by a group of order 2 together with a block

h a t B

of

k h a t G

with generalized quaternion defect groups such that

B

is contained in the image of

h a t B

under the natural surjection from

k h a t G

onto

k G

. As a special case, we obtain that

c = 0

if

G = m a t h r m {P G L}_{2} (m a t h b b F_{q})

for some odd prime power

q

and

B

is the principal block of

k m a t h r m {P G L}_{2} (m a t h b b F_{q})

.
