ON MORITA THEORY FOR SELF-DUAL MODULES

Abstract: Let

G

be a finite group and let

k

be a field of characteristic

p

. It is known that a

k G

-module

V

carries a non-degenerate

G

-invariant bilinear form

b

if and only if

V

is self-dual. We show that whenever a Morita bimodule

M

which induces an equivalence between two blocks

B (k G)

and

B (k H)

of group algebras

k G

and

k H

is self-dual then the correspondence preserves self-duality. Even more, if the bilinear form on

M

is symmetric then for

p

odd the correspondence preserves the geometric type of simple modules. In characteristic 2 this holds also true for projective modules.
