Two remarks on the reduction of Alperin's weight conjecture

Representation Theory 2014-02-26 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

The so-called inductive McKay condition on finite simple groups, due to Isaacs-Malle-Navarro (2007), has been recently reformulated by Sp\"ath. We show that this reformulation applies to the reduction theorem for Alperin's weight conjecture, due to Navarro-Tiep (2011). This also simplifies the checking of the inductive condition for Alperin's weight conjecture in the case of simple groups of Lie type with regard to the defining prime.
