Abstract

Let kk be a field of odd prime characteristic pp. We calculate the Lie algebra structure of the first Hochschild cohomology of a class of quantum complete intersections over kk. As a consequence, we prove that if BB is a defect 22-block of a finite group algebra kGkG whose Brauer correspondent CC has a unique isomorphism class of simple modules, then a basic algebra of BB is a local algebra which can be generated by at most 2I2\sqrt I elements, where II is the inertial index of BB, and where we assume that kk is a splitting field for BB and CC.
