Abstract

Let GG be a finite group with Sylow 22-subgroup PGP \leqslant G. Navarro-Tiep-Vallejo have conjectured that the principal 22-block of NG(P)N_G(P) contains exactly one irreducible Brauer character if and only if all odd-degree ordinary irreducible characters in the principal 22-block of GG are fixed by a certain Galois automorphism σGal(QG/Q)\sigma \in \mathrm{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}_{|G|}/\mathbb{Q}). Recent work of Navarro-Vallejo has reduced this conjecture to a problem about finite simple groups. We show that their conjecture holds for all finite simple groups, thus establishing the conjecture for all finite groups.
