Abstract: The inductive blockwise Alperin weight condition is a system of conditions whose verification for all non-abelian finite simple groups would imply the blockwise Alperin weight conjecture. We establish this condition for the groups G2(q), qgeq5, and 3D4(q) for all primes dividing their order.


The Alperin weight conjecture was formulated in [Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 47, 369--379 (1987; Zbl 0657.20013)] by \textit{J. L. Alperin}. It states that, for a \(p\)-block \(B\) of a finite group \(G\), the number of irreducible \(p\)-Brauer characters in the block \(B\) equals the number of \(B\)-weights up to \(G\)-conjugacy. Using the classification of finite simple groups, Alperin's weight conjecture has been reduced, in the block-free version by \textit{G. Navarro} and the reviewer [Invent. Math. 184, No. 3, 529--565 (2011; Zbl 1234.20010)], and in the blockwise version by \textit{B. Späth} [J. Group Theory 16, No. 2, 159--220 (2013; Zbl 1282.20010)], to a condition, referred to as the inductive blockwise Alperin weight condition, that one needs to verify for all simple groups involved in \(G\).NEWLINENEWLINE This paper is a nice contribution to the program of verifying the inductive blockwise Alperin weight condition for all finite simple groups, and completes the cases of exceptional groups of Lie type \(S = G_2(q)\) and \(S= ^3D_4(q)\). It relies particularly on previous results of \textit{G. Hiß} and \textit{J. Shamash} [J. Algebra 131, No. 2, 371--387 (1990; Zbl 0711.20008); Math. Comput. 59, No. 200, 645--672 (1992; Zbl 0790.20018)] on \(p\)-blocks of \(G_2(q)\), and of \textit{D. I. Deriziotis} and \textit{G. O. Michler} on \(p\)-blocks of \(^3D_4(q)\) [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 303, 39--70 (1987; Zbl 0628.20014)], as well as the description of weights for these two groups obtained by \textit{J. An} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 69, No. 1, 22--46 (1994; Zbl 0802.20012); Math. Z. 218, No. 2, 273--290 (1995; Zbl 0814.20009)]. It also uses results of \textit{B. Späth} [Math. Z. 261, No. 3, 571--595 (2009; Zbl 1178.20006); loc. cit.], respectively of \textit{S. Koshitani} and \textit{B. Späth} [Arch. Math. 106, No. 2, 107--116 (2016; Zbl 1343.20014); J. Group Theory 19, No. 5, 777--813 (2016; Zbl 1370.20009)], that verify the condition in the case \(p\) is the defining characteristic for \(S\), respectively in the case Sylow \(p\)-subgroups of \(S\) are cyclic.
