Review text

Let \(F\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>0\), and let \(G\) be a finite group with Sylow \(p\)-subgroup \(S\). Moreover, let \(B\) be a block of the group algebra \(FG\) with defect group \(P\). By a result of \textit{R. Brauer} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 13, 162-166 (1976; Zbl 0333.20008)], we have \(\dim B\geq|S|^2/|P|\), and equality implies that \(B\) has only one simple module. In the paper under review the author shows that in this extreme case \(B\) has to be nilpotent.
