Cartan matrices and Brauer's k(B)-conjecture. III.

Abstract: For a block B of a finite group we prove that k(B)le(detC1)/l(B)+l(B)ledetC where k(B) (respectively l(B)) is the number of irreducible ordinary (respectively Brauer) characters of B, and C is the Cartan matrix of B. As an application, we show that Brauer's k(B)-Conjecture holds for every block with abelian defect group D and inertial quotient T provided there exists an element uinD such that CT(u) acts freely on D/<u>. This gives a new proof of Brauer's Conjecture for abelian defect groups of rank at most 2. We also prove the conjecture in case l(B)le3.
