Abstract

In this paper characters of the normaliser of dd-split Levi subgroups in SLn(q)\mathrm {SL}_n(q) and SUn(q)\mathrm {SU}_n(q) are parametrized with a particular focus on the Clifford theory between the Levi subgroup and its normalizer.These results are applied to verify the Alperin-McKay conjecture for primes \ell with 6(q21)\ell\nmid 6(q^2-1) and the Alperin weight conjecture for \ell-blocks of those quasi-simple groups with abelian defect. The inductive Alperin-McKay condition and inductive Alperin weight condition by the second author are verified for certain blocks of SLn(q)\mathrm {SL}_n(q) and SUn(q)\mathrm {SU}_n(q).
