Fusion systems on a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of \(SU_4(p)\) (Q2236096)

It is in general not easy to determine fusion systems on large \(p\)-groups. The paper finds all saturated fusion systems on a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup \(S\) of \(\mathrm{SU}_4(p)\) for odd \(p\), where \(S\) has order \(p^6\). Recall that a saturated fusion system is ``realizable'' if it is isomorphic to \(\mathcal{F}_S(G)\) for some finite group \(G\) containing \(S\) as a Sylow subgroup; otherwise, it is called ``exotic''. We can see many special properties of exotic fusion systems from different perspectives. Thus, for a \(p\)-group \(S\), it is a focus of interest to determine whether there are exotic fusion systems on \(S\). The paper also proves that none of the fusion systems on a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of \(\mathrm{SU}_4(p)\) is exotic, where \(p\) is an odd prime. Owing to previous work by \textit{B. Oliver} [Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 1131, v, 100 p. (2016; Zbl 1382.20023)] and the work by \textit{E. Baccanelli} et al. [J. Group Theory 22, No. 4, 689--711 (2019; Zbl 1468.20039)], the paper mainly focuses on the case when \(p\ge 5\).
