    We show that between any pair of Galois conjugate blocks of finite group algebras, there exists an isotypy with all signs positive

    Jordan correspondence and block distribution of characters

    Full text link
    We complete the determination of the â„“\ell-block distribution of characters for quasi-simple exceptional groups of Lie type up to some minor ambiguities relating to non-uniqueness of Jordan decomposition. For this, we first determine the â„“\ell-block distribution for finite reductive groups whose ambient algebraic group defined in characteristic different from â„“\ell has connected centre. As a consequence we derive a compatibility between â„“\ell-blocks, ee-Harish-Chandra series and Jordan decomposition. Further we apply our results to complete the proof of Robinson's conjecture on defects of characters

    Bounds for Hochschild cohomology of block algebras

    Get PDF
    We show that for any block algebra B of a finite group over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic the dimension of HH^n(B) is bounded by a function depending only on the nonnegative integer n and the defect of B. The proof uses in particular a theorem of Brauer and Feit which implies the result for n=0.Comment: 6 page
