Trivial-source endotrivial modules for sporadic groups

Group Theory 2020-06-05 v1 Representation Theory

Abstract

We determine the group of endotrivial modules (as an abstract group) for GG a (quasi)simple group of sporadic type, extending previous results in the literature. In many sporadic cases we directly construct the subgroup of trivial-source endotrivial modules. We also resolve the question of whether certain simple modules for sporadic groups are endotrivial, posed by Lassueur, Malle and Schulte, in the majority of open cases. The results rely heavily on a recent description of the group of trivial-source endotrivial modules due to Grodal.
