On blocks with trivial source simple modules

Motivated by an observation in "Vertices, sources and Green correspondents of the simple modules for the large Mathieu groups", J. of Algebra 322, we determine the source algebra, and therefore all the structure, of the blocks without essential Brauer pairs where the simple modules of all the Brauer corespondents have trivial sources

Glauberman correspondents and extensions of nilpotent block algebras

The main purpose of this paper is to prove that the extensions of a nilpotent block algebra and its Glauberman correspondent block algebra are Morita equivalent under an additional group-theoretic condition. In particular, Harris and Linckelman's theorem and Koshitani and Michler's theorem are covered. The ingredient to carry out our purpose is the two main results in K\"ulshammer and Puig's work "Extensions of nilpotent blocks"; we actually revisited them, giving completely new proofs of both and slightly improving the second one
