Abstract: In this note, we initiate the study of $cF$-weights for an $ell$-local compact group $cF$ over a discrete $ell$-toral group $S$ with discrete torus $T$. Motivated by Alperin's Weight Conjecture for simple groups of Lie-type, we conjecture that when $cF$ is (algebraically) connected, that is every element of $S$ is $cF$-fused into $T$, the number of weights of $cF$ is equal to the number of ordinary irreducible characters of its Weyl group. By combining the structure theory of $cF$ with the theory of blocks with cyclic defect group, we are able to give a proof of this conjecture in the case when $cF$ is simple and $|S:T|=ell$. We also propose and give evidence for an analogue of the height zero case of Robinson's Ordinary Weight conjecture in this setting.

Review text

An \(\ell\)-compact group is the \(\ell\)-local homotopy theoretic analogue of a compact Lie group with a ``Weyl group \(W\) which is a \(\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}\)-reflection group. In the paper under review, the author studies the \(\mathcal{F}\)-weights for an \(\ell\)-local compact group \(\mathcal{F}\) over a discrete \(\ell\)-toral group \(S\) with discrete torus \(T\). Motivated by Alperin's weight conjecture for simple groups of Lie type, he conjectures that when \(T\) is the unique maximal abelian subgroup of \(S\) up to \(\mathcal{F}\)-conjugacy and every element of \(S\) is \(\mathcal{F}\)-fused into \(T\), the number of weights of \(\mathcal{F}\) is bounded above by the number of ordinary irreducible characters of its Weyl group. The main result of this paper is the proof of the previous conjecture in the case when \(\mathcal{F}\) is simple and \(|S : T|=\ell\).
