Review text

The aim of the paper under review note is to investigate connections between the values of height-zero characters of a group \(G\) in a \(p\)-block \(B\) and generation properties of the defect groups of \(B\). Assuming that the statement of the Alperin-McKay-Navarro conjecture holds for a \(p\)-block \(B\) with defect group \(D\), the author shows that the number of generators of \(D\) is bounded from below by the number of height-zero characters in \(B\) fixed by a specific element of the absolute Galois group of the rational numbers.
