Abstract

To any block idempotent bb of a group algebra kGkG of a finite group GG over a field kk of characteristic p>0p>0, Puig associated a fusion system and proved that it is saturated if the kk-algebra kCG(P)ekC_G(P)e is split, where (P,e)(P,e) is a maximal kGbkGb-Brauer pair. We investigate in the non-split case how far the fusion system is from being saturated by describing it in an explicit way as being generated by the fusion system of a related block idempotent over a larger field together with a single automorphism of the defect group.
