Abstract: Let G be a finite group, let p be a prime number, and let K be a field of characteristic 0 and k be a field of characteristic p, both large enough. In this note we state explicit formulae for the primitive idempotents of Kotimes pp_k(G), where pp_k(G) is the ring of p-permutation kG-modules.

Review text

Let \(G\) be a finite group, \(k\) a field of characteristic \(p>0\), and \(K\) a field of characteristic \(0\). The fields \(k\) and \(K\) are assumed to be `large enough' in a precise sense. Denote by \(pp_k(G)\) the Grothendieck ring (w.r.t. direct sum decompositions and tensor products over \(k\)) of \(p\)-permutation \(kG\)-modules. In this paper, the authors obtain explicit formulae for the primitive idempotents of \(K\otimes_{\mathbb Z}pp_k(G)\), the motivation coming from applications to Cartan matrices of Mackey algebras. A key ingredient is a natural ring homomorphism from the Burnside ring \(B(G)\) to \(pp_k(G)\), along with the classical formulae for the primitive idempotents of \(K\otimes_{\mathbb Z}B(G)\).
