Abstract: If G is a finite group, we have proposed new conjectures on the interaction between different primes and their corresponding Brauer principal blocks. In this paper, we give strong support to the validity of these conjectures.


In [J. Algebra 610, 632--654 (2022; Zbl 1511.20044)], the authors proposed new conjectures about the relationship between the principal blocks of finite groups for different primes. In particular: Conjecture B. Let \(G\) be a finite group and let \(p,q \in \pi(G)\). If \(\mathrm{Irr}_{p'}(B_{p}(G)) = \mathrm{Irr}_{q'}(B_{q}(G))\), then \(p=q\). Conjecture C. Let \(G\) be a finite group, and let \(p\) and \(q\) be different primes. Then \(q\) does not divide \(\chi(1)\) for all \(\chi \in \mathrm{Irr}_{p'}(B_{p}(G))\) and \(p\) does not divide \(\chi(1)\) for all \(\chi \in \mathrm{Irr}_{q'}(B_{q}(G))\) if and only if there are a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup \(P\) of \(G\) and a Sylow \(q\)-subgroup \(Q\) of \(G\) such that \([P,Q]=1\). In the paper under review, the authors (using the classification of finite simple groups) prove the following two theorems. Theorem D: Conjecture C implies Conjecture B. Theorem E: Conjecture C holds for finite simple groups.
