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 , if a -block of a finite group has an abelian defect group , then and its Brauer corresponding block of the normaliser of in 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 with an elementary abelian defect group of order 9 of the Harada-Norton simple group . It then turns out that Brou\'e's abelian defect group conjecture holds for all primes and for all -blocks of the Harada-Norton simple group .
