Dade's ordinary conjecture implies the Alperin-McKay conjecture (Q1710694)

Dade's ordinary conjecture expresses the number of complex irreducible characters with a fixed height in a given \(p\)-block of a finite group \(G\) in terms of the number of complex irreducible characters of related height in related \(p\)-blocks of certain local subgroups of \(G\). The Alperin-McKay conjecture asserts that, given a \(p\)-block \(B\) of \(G\) with Brauer correspondent \(b\), the numbers of height \(0\) irreducible characters in \(B\) and in \(b\) are equal. In the present article, the authors prove that if Dade's ordinary conjecture holds for all \(p\)-blocks of finite groups, then the Alperin-McKay conjecture holds for all \(p\)-blocks of finite groups.
