Descent of splendid Rickard equivalences in alternating groups (Q6597502)

In [in: Geometric and topological aspects of the representation theory of finite groups. PIMS summer school and workshop, Vancouver, Canada, July 27 -- August 5, 2016. Cham: Springer; Vancouver: Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences. 181--212 (2018; Zbl 1544.20020)] \textit{R. Kessar} and \textit{M. Linckelmann} formulated a refined version of Broué's Abelian Defect Group conjecture. Namely they ask, if for every complete discrete valuation ring \(\mathcal{O}\) and finite group \(G\) a block of \(\mathcal{O}G\) with abelian defect group is splendidly Rickard equivalent with its Brauer correspondent. In Broué's conjecture \(G\) is assumed to split over \(\mathcal{O}\).\N\NThe author of the present paper proves that the question of Kessar and Linckelmann has a positive answer for blocks of alternating groups by adjusting the techniques employed in [\textit{A. Marcus}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 132, No. 1, 7--14 (2004; Zbl 1046.20009)] to prove Broué's original conjecture for these blocks. This also gives a positive answer, for alternating groups, to the generalization of the Alperin-McKay conjecture formulated by \textit{A. Turull} [J. Algebra 394, 79--91 (2013; Zbl 1344.20014)].
