p-Regular orbits and p-blocks of defect zero
The interest of the author concentrates on the famous question of modular representation theory of finite groups about group-theoretic conditions for the existence of \(p\)-blocks of defect zero in a finite group. The problem which the author deals with is the following: If \(G\) is a finite solvable group without \(p\)-blocks of defect zero and with \(O_ p(G)=1\), what can be said about the structure of \(G\)? Suppose \(p\) and \(q\) are two distinct primes and \(V\) is an elementary abelian \(q\)-group of order \(q^{pn}\) such that \(p\) divides \(q^ n-1\), considered as additive group of the Galois field \(F_{q^{pn}}\) of order \(q^{pn}\). Let \(x\) be an element of the Galois group \(\text{Gal}(F_{q^{pn}}/F_ q)\) of order \(p\) and \(N\) be a subgroup of \(F^*_{q^{pn}}\) of order \((q^{pn}-1)/(q^ n-1)\). The group \(N\langle x\rangle\) acts naturally on \(V\). Set \(E(p,q,n)=V(N\langle x\rangle)\). The main result of the paper is the following theorem: Let \(G\) be a finite group of odd order and \(p\) be a prime divisor of the order of \(G\). Suppose that \(O_ p(G)=1\) and that \(G\) is \(E(p,q,n)\)-free for all possible \(q\) and \(n\). Then there exist an element \(x\) in \(O_{p'}(G)\) such that \(C_ G(x)\) is a \(p'\)-subgroup. Hence \(G\) has a \(p\)-block of defect zero. Some corollaries are established, too.
