Let $p$ be a prime number. A saturated fusion system $\mathcal{F}$ on a finite $p$-group $S$ is said to be supersolvable if there is a series $1 = S_0 \le S_1 \le \dots \le S_m = S$ of subgroups of $S$ such that $S_i$ is strongly…

To any block idempotent $b$ of a group algebra $kG$ of a finite group $G$ over a field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, Puig associated a fusion system and proved that it is saturated if the $k$-algebra $kC_G(P)e$ is split, where $(P,e)$ is a…

A saturated fusion system over a finite $p$-group $S$ is a category whose objects are the subgroups of $S$ and whose morphisms are injective homomorphisms between the subgroups satisfying certain axioms. A fusion system over $S$ is realized…

We classify all (saturated) fusion systems on bicyclic 2-groups. Here, a bicyclic group is a product of two cyclic subgroups. This extends previous work on fusion systems on metacyclic 2-groups (see [Craven-Glesser, 2012] and [Sambale,…

We study a saturated fusion system F on a finite 2-group S having a Baumann component based on a dihedral 2-group. Assuming F is 2-perfect with no nontrivial normal 2-subgroups, and the centralizer of the component is a cyclic 2-group, it…

We prove, when $S$ is a $2$-group of order at most $2^9$, that each reduced fusion system over $S$ is the fusion system of a finite simple group and is tame. It then follows that each saturated fusion system over a $2$-group of order at…

We compare four different types of realizability for saturated fusion systems over discrete $p$-toral groups. For example, when $G$ is a locally finite group all of whose $p$-subgroups are artinian (hence discrete $p$-toral), we show that…

We consider saturated fusion systems $\mathcal F$ on a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $\Omega^+_8(2)$ with $O_2(\mathcal F) = 1$. Examples for this are the $2$-fusion systems of $\Omega^+_8(2)$, $\Omega^+_8(2):3$, $P\Omega^+_8(3)$ and…

For a saturated fusion system $\mathcal F$ on a $p$-group $S$, we study the Burnside ring of the fusion system $B(\mathcal F)$, as defined by Matthew Gelvin and Sune Reeh, which is a subring of the Burnside ring $B(S)$. We give criteria for…

We prove that an isomorphism between saturated fusion systems over the same finite p-group is detected on the elementary abelian subgroups of the hyperfocal subgroup if p is odd, and on the abelian subgroups of the hyperfocal subgroup of…

Let $\mathcal F$ be a saturated fusion system on a finite $p$-group $S$, and let $P$ be a strongly $\mathcal F$-closed subgroup of $S$. We define the concept ``$\mathcal F$-essential subgroups with respect to $P$" which are some proper…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $G$ a finite group, $P$ a $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We study the relationship between the category $\Ff_P(G)$ and the behavior of $p$-permutation $kG$-modules…

The Benson-Solomon systems comprise a one-parameter family of simple exotic fusion systems at the prime $2$. The results we prove give significant additional evidence that these are the only simple exotic $2$-fusion systems, as conjectured…

For $p\in\{2,3\}$ it is known that a saturated $p$-fusion system is realizable if and only if each of its components is realizable by a finite simple group. For primes $p\geq 5$ this is false. Building on work of Broto, M{\o}ller, Oliver…

In this short note we study the cohomology algebra of saturated fusion systems using finite groups which realize saturated fusion systems and Hochschild cohomology of group algebras. A similar result to a theorem of Alperin is proved for…

We investigate the possible structures imposed on a finite group by its possession of an automorphism sending a large fraction of the group elements to their cubes, the philosophy being that this should force the group to be, in some sense,…

We give a general description of the structure of a discrete double groupoid (with an extra, quite natural, filling condition) in terms of groupoid factorizations and groupoid 2-cocycles with coefficients in abelian group bundles. Our…

We prove that the factorization of a saturated fusion system over a discrete $p$-toral group as a product of indecomposable subsystems is unique up to normal automorphisms of the fusion system and permutations of the factors. In particular,…

Let G be a finite group, and let B be a non-nilpotent block of G with respect to an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. Suppose that B has an elementary abelian defect group of order 16 and only one simple module. The main…

We show that every saturated fusion system $\mathcal{F}$ has a unique minimal $\mathcal{F}$-characteristic biset $\Lambda_\mathcal{F}$. We examine the relationship of $\Lambda_\mathcal{F}$ with other concepts in $p$-local finite group…
