Dihedral blocks with two simple modules
Abstract
Let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2, and let be a finite group. Suppose is a block of with dihedral defect groups such that there are precisely two isomorphism classes of simple -modules. The description by Erdmann of the quiver and relations of the basic algebra of is usually only given up to a certain parameter which is either 0 or 1. In this article, we show that if there exists a central extension of by a group of order 2 together with a block of with generalized quaternion defect groups such that is contained in the image of under the natural surjection from onto . As a special case, we obtain that if for some odd prime power and is the principal block of .

11 pages, 5 figures. The arguments work also for non-principal blocks. The paper has been changed accordingly; in particular, the word "principal" was removed from the title
