Abstract

In representation theory of finite groups, there is a well-known and important conjecture due to M. Brou\'e. He conjectures that, for any prime pp, if a pp-block AA of a finite group GG has an abelian defect group PP, then AA and its Brauer corresponding block BB of the normaliser NG(P)N_G(P) of PP in GG are derived equivalent (Rickard equivalent). This conjecture is called Brou\'e's abelian defect group conjecture. We prove in this paper that Brou\'e's abelian defect group conjecture is true for a non-principal 3-block AA with an elementary abelian defect group PP of order 9 of the Harada-Norton simple group HNHN. It then turns out that Brou\'e's abelian defect group conjecture holds for all primes pp and for all pp-blocks of the Harada-Norton simple group HNHN.
