Abstract
Let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2, and let be the ring of infinite Witt vectors over . Suppose is a dihedral 2-group. We prove that the universal deformation ring of an endo-trivial -module is always isomorphic to . As a consequence we obtain a similar result for modules with stable endomorphism ring belonging to an arbitrary nilpotent block with defect group . This confirms for such conjectures on the ring structure of the universal deformation ring of which had previously been shown for belonging to cyclic blocks or to blocks with Klein four defect groups.
