Height Zero Conjecture with Galois Automorphisms

Representation Theory 2022-09-20 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

We prove a strengthening of Brauer's height zero conjecture for principal 2-blocks with Galois automorphisms. This requires a new extension of the It\^o--Michler theorem for the prime~2, again with Galois automorphisms. We close, this time for odd primes pp, with a new characterisation of pp-closed groups via the decomposition numbers of certain characters.
