The principal $p$-blocks with small numbers of characters

Representation Theory 2021-08-25 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

For a prime pp, we determine a Sylow pp-subgroup DD of a finite group GG such that the principal pp-block BB of GG has four irreducible ordinary characters. It has been determined already for the cases where the number is up to three by work by R. Brauer, J. Brandt, and V.A. Belonogov thirty years ago. Our proof relies on the classification of finite simple groups.
