Fundamental Paper

In his fundamental paper [1] J. L. Alperin introduced the idea of a weight in modular representation theory of finite groups G. Let p be a prime. A p-subgroup R is called a radical subgroup of G if R = Op(NG(R)). An irreducible character φ of NG(R) is called a weight character if φ is trivial on R and belongs to a p-block of defect zero of NG(R)/R. The G-conjugacy class of the pair (R, φ) is a weight of G. Let b be the p-block of NG(R) containing φ, and let B be p-block of G. A weight (R, φ) is a B-weight for the block B of G if B = bG, which means that B and b correspond under the Brauer homomorphism. Alperin's conjecture on weights asserts that the number l*(B) of B-weights of a p-block B of a finite group G equals the number l(B) of modular characters of B.

Finitely Generated Modules

In the modular representation theory of finite groups, much recent effort has gone into describing cohomological properties of the category of finitely generated modules. In recent joint work of the author with Jon Carlson and Jeremy Rickard[3], it has become clear that for some purposes the finiteness restriction is undesirable. In particular, in the quotient category of kG-modules by the subcategory of modules of less than maximal complexity, it turns out that finitely generated modules can have infinitely generated summands, and that including these summands in the category repairs the lack of Krull–Schmidt property.

Modular Representation Theory

R. Brauer not only laid the foundations of modular representation theory of finite groups, he also raised a number of questions and made conjectures (see [1], [2] for instance) which since then have attracted the interest of many people working in the field and continue to guide the research efforts to a good extent. One of these is known as the “Height zero conjecture”. It may be stated as follows: CONJECTURE. Let B be a p-block of the finite group G. All irreducible ordinary characters of G belonging to B are of height 0 if and only if a defect group of B is abelian.

Green Correspondence

AbstractIn the modular representation theory of finite groups, we show that the standard derivation of the Green correspondence lifts to a derivation of a Green correspondence for twisted group algebras (Theorem 1.3). Then, from these results we derive a lift of the Puig correspondences for twisted group algebras (Theorem 1.6).Clearly twisted group algebras arise naturally in finite group modular representation theory. We conclude with some suggestions for applications in this mathematical area.

Green Correspondence

AbstractIn [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 2 (1972), 371–393, Theorem 4.1], J. A. Green shows that the Green Correspondence in Finite Group Modular Representation Theory is a consequence of an equivalence between two quotient categories of appropriate subcategories in the Green Correspondence context. In [Adv. Math. 104 (1994), 297–314, Theorems 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7], M. Auslander and M. Kleiner prove a similar result. M. Linckelmann suggested that the quotient categories in these results are the same. Utilizing extensions of [The Representation Theory of Finite Groups, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1982, III, Theorem 7.8] or [Representations of Finite Groups, Academic Press, San Diego, 1988, Chapter 5, Corollary 3.11], we extend these results to blocks of finite groups. In order to state and prove our results and to remain relatively self-contained, we follow the procedures of [Adv. Math. 104 (1994), 297–314] in the Green Correspondent context. This is presented in Section 1. In Section 2 we present our main results. In Section 3 we give a very short proof of a theorem of H. Fitting for 𝒪-algebras that is essential in the proof of basic results of J. A. Green, [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 2 (1972), 371–393, Lemma 3.9 and Theorem 3.10].
