Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and kk be a field of characteristic p>0p > 0. In prior work, we studied endotrivial complexes, the invertible objects of the bounded homotopy category Kb(kGtriv)K^b({}_{kG}\mathbf{triv}) of pp-permutation kGkG-modules. Using the notion of projectivity relative to a kGkG-module, we expand on this study by defining notions of "relatively" endotrivial chain complexes, analogous to Lassueur's construction of relatively endotrivial kGkG-modules. We obtain equivalent characterizations of relative endotriviality and find corresponding local homological data which almost completely determine the isomorphism class of a relatively endotrivial complex. We show this local data must partially satisfy the Borel-Smith conditions, and consider the behavior of restriction to subgroups containing Sylow pp-subgroups SS of GG.
