Abstract: Let G be a finite group, and let Omega:={tin Gmid t^2=1}. Then Omega is a G-set under conjugation. Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. It is shown that each projective indecomposable summand of the G-permutation module kOmega is irreducible and self-dual, whence it belongs to a real 2-block of defect zero. This, together with the fact that each irreducible kG-module that belongs to a real 2-block of defect zero occurs with multiplicity 1 as a direct summand of kOmega, establishes a bijection between the projective components of kOmega and the real 2-blocks of G of defect zero.

Review text

Let \(G\) be a finite group and \(k\) an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In this paper, the author investigates the \(G\)-permutation module \(k\Omega\), where \(\Omega:=\{t\in G\mid t^2=1\}\) is a \(G\)-set under conjugation. He proves that every projective indecomposable summand of \(k\Omega\) is irreducible and self-dual, hence it belongs to a real \(2\)-block of \(G\) that has defect zero. Moreover, any such summand occurs with multiplicity \(1\) in \(k\Omega\). As a corollary, one deduces that there is a bijection between the real \(2\)-blocks of \(G\) with defect zero and the projective components of \(k\Omega\).
