Abstract: We discuss representations of finite groups having a common central p-subgroup Z, where p is a prime number. For the principal p-blocks, we give a method of constructing a relative Z-stable equivalence of Morita type, which is a generalization of a stable equivalence of Morita type, and was introduced by Wang and Zhang in a more general setting. Then we generalize Linckelmann's results on stable equivalences of Morita type to relative Z-stable equivalences of Morita type. We also introduce the notion of relative Brauer indecomposability, which is a generalization of the notion of Brauer indecomposability. We give an equivalent condition for Scott modules to be relatively Brauer indecomposable, which is an analogue of that given by Ishioka and the first author.


In representation theory of finite groups, understanding the block algebras up to a certain type of equivalence is important. In this article under review, the authors focus on stable equivalences of Morita type relative to a central subgroup between principal block algebras of two finite groups. This equivalence is a generalization of the notion of stable equivalence of Morita type, a notion which is introduced by M. Broué who also developed a method for constructing stable equivalences of Morita type between principal block algebras. There are three important results in the paper. The first one, which is Theorem 1.1, gives a method for constructing relative \(Z\)-stable equivalences between the \(p\)-blocks of two finite groups \(G\) and \(G'\) where both of them contains \(Z\) as a central \(p\)-subgroup. This method uses the Scott \((G\times G')\)-module; and Theorem 1.1 claims that a necessary and sufficient condition for principal blocks of such groups to be relatively \(Z\)-equivalent is that the Brauer quotients of the Scott module with respect to \(\Delta Q\) to induce a Morita equivalence between the principal \(p\)-blocks of \(C_G(Q)\) and \(C_{G'}(Q)\) where \(Q\) is a \(p\)-subgroup which contains \(Z\) properly. The second result, which is Theorem 1.2, generalizes Theorem 2.1 of [\textit{M. Linckelmann}, Math. Z. 223 No 1, 87--100 (1996; Zbl 0866.16004)]. Theorem 1.2 of the paper gives an equivalent condition for a relative stable equivalence between block algebras to be a Morita equivalence. Further, the authors generalize the notion of Brauer indecomposability to the notion of Brauer indecomposability relative to a \(p\)-subgroup and they gave an equivalent condition for a Scott module to be relatively Brauer indecomposable by generalizing the results given in \textit{H. Ishioka} and \textit{N. Kunugi}, J. Alg. 470, 441--449 (2017; Zbl 1378.20012)] in Theorem 1.3. The notion of relative stable equivalence is first introduced in \textit{L. Wang} and \textit{J. Zhang}, J. Pure Appl. Alg. 222 No 9, 2703--2717 (2018; Zbl 1397.20025)] in a more general framework.
