    Let k be a field of characteristic \(p>0\) and let G be a finite group of order \(p^ dq\) with \((p,q)=1\), \(d>0\). Let m be any positive multiple of \(2(p^ d-p^{d-1})\) for odd p or of \(2^{d-1}\) for \(p=2\). The author shows that a finitely generated kG-module M is projective if \(Ext^ m_{kG}(M,M)=0\). The proof uses Chern classes of the regular unitary representation of G and (for \(p=2)\) of the regular orthogonal representation of G.
