On periodic modules in \(p\)-blocks of type \(SL_ 2\) (Q1077525)

Let \(G\) be a finite group, \(p\) an odd prime and \(B\) a \(p\)-block of \(G\) such that a defect group \(D\) of \(B\) is TI in \(G\) and elementary abelian of order \(p^ n\) for some \(n>1\). Denote by \(b\) the Brauer correspondent of \(B\) in \(N_ G(D)\) and by \(\Gamma\) the set of Green correspondents in \(b\) of the simple \(B\)-modules. Let \(B_ 0\), \(B_ 1\) be the \(p\)-blocks of full defect in \(SL_ 2(p^ n)\) with Brauer correspondents \(b_ 0\), \(b_ 1\), and denote by \(\Gamma_ i\) the set of Green correspondents in \(b_ i\) of simple \(B_ i\)-modules \((i=0,1)\). The author says that \(B\) is ``of type \(SL_ 2\)'' if there is a Morita equivalence between \(b\) and \(b_ i\) taking \(\Gamma\) to \(\Gamma_ i\). In an earlier paper [Math. Z. 183, 177-215 (1983; Zbl 0498.20011)] the author has defined a graph \({\underset \tilde{} \Gamma}\) with \(2(p^ n-1)\) vertices, for each vertex \(A\) in \({\underset \tilde{} \Gamma}^ a\) subset \(S_ A\) of \(\{0,1,...,n-1\}\), and for \(j,m\in S_ A\) an indecomposable \(B\)-module \(P_{j,m}(A)\). She had used these modules to construct filtrations of the indecomposable projective \(B\)-modules from which she could read off Loewy lengths, Cartan invariants and \(Ext^ 1\) for simple modules. When \(P_{j,m}(A)\) is periodic, its period is \(p^ n-1\). In the paper under review, the author computes the \(\Omega\)-orbits of \(P_{j,m}(A)\) where \(\Omega\) is the Heller operator.
