Abstract

We consider a block BB of a finite group with defect group D(C2m)nD \cong (C_{2^m})^n and inertial quotient E\mathbb{E} containing a Singer cycle (an element of order 2n12^n-1). This implies E=EF\mathbb{E} = E \rtimes F, where EC2n1E \cong C_{2^n-1}, FCnF \leq C_n, and EE acts transitively on the elements in DD of order 22, and freely on D\{1}D \backslash \{1\}. We classify the basic Morita equivalence classes of BB over a complete discrete valuation ring O\mathcal{O}: when m=1m=1, BB is basic Morita equivalent to the principal block of one of SL2(2n)FSL_2(2^n) \rtimes F, DED \rtimes \mathbb{E}, or J1J_1 (where J1J_1 occurs only when n=3n=3). When m>1m>1, BB is basic Morita equivalent to DED \rtimes \mathbb{E}.
