This paper is a continuation and a completion of [BoRo1]. We extend the Jordan decomposition of blocks: we show that blocks of finite groups of Lie type in non-describing characteristic are Morita equivalent to blocks of subgroups…

We show that two flat commutative Hopf algebroids are Morita equivalent if and only if they are weakly equivalent and if and only if there exists a principal bibundle connecting them. This gives a positive answer to a conjecture due to…

We show that perverse equivalences between module categories of finite-dimensional algebras preserve rationality. As an application, we give a connection between some famous conjectures from the modular representation theory of finite…

We prove a conjecture of Broue about the Jordan decomposition of blocks of finite reductive groups. We show that a block of a finite connected reductive group, in non-describing characteristic, is Morita-equivalent to a quasi-isolated block…

We show that the 3-block of the sporadic simple Janko group J_4 with defect group C_3 x C_3, and the principal 3-block of the alternating group A_8 are Puig equivalent, answering a question posed in earlier work of Koshitani-Kunugi-Waki. To…

In this paper we investigate gradings on tame blocks of group algebras whose defect group is dihedral. We classify gradings on an arbitrary dihedral block up to graded Morita equivalence. We do this by computing the group of outer…

We prove that splendid Morita equivalences between principal blocks of finite groups with dihedral Sylow $2$-subgroups realised by Scott modules can be lifted to splendid Morita equivalences between principal blocks of finite groups with…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$, let $G$ be a finite group and let $B$ be the principal $2$-block of $kG$ with a dihedral or a generalised quaternion defect group $P$. Let also $\mathcal{T}(B)$ denote the…

We prove Ibukiyama's conjectures on Siegel modular forms of half-integral weight and of degree 2 by using Arthur's multiplicity formula on the split odd special orthogonal group $\SO_5$ and Gan-Ichino's multiplicity formula on the…

Categorical equivalences between block algebras of finite groups - such as Morita and derived equivalences - are well-known to induce character bijections which commute with the Galois groups of field extensions. This is the motivation for…

The Alperin-McKay conjecture is a longstanding open conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups. Sp\"ath showed that the Alperin-McKay conjecture holds if the so-called inductive Alperin-McKay (iAM) condition holds for all…

We formulate a version of the integral Hodge conjecture for categories, prove the conjecture for two-dimensional Calabi-Yau categories which are suitably deformation equivalent to the derived category of a K3 or abelian surface, and use…

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…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $q$ a prime power. We prove that a refined version of Brou\'{e}'s abelian defect group conjecture holds for unipotent $\ell$-blocks of ${\rm GL}_n(q)$, where $\ell\nmid q$. We also give a sufficient…

We give a new proof, by using the terminology and notation in the textbook \cite{Lin18b}, to a result, due to Puig, stating that a stable equivalence of Morita type between two block algebras of finite groups induced by a bimodule with an…

This article discusses the modular representation theory of finite groups of Lie type from the viewpoint of Broue's abelian defect group conjecture. We discuss both the defining characteristic case, the inspiration for Alperin's weight…

It is shown that Section 8 of Plesken's 1983 lecture notes describes blocks of cyclic defect group up to Morita equivalence. In particular such a block is determined by its planar embedded Brauer tree. Applying the radical idealizer…

With any integral lattice \Lambda in n-dimensional euclidean space we associate an elementary abelian 2-group I(\lambda) whose elements represent parts of the dual lattice that are similar to \Lambda. There are corresponding involutions on…

We consider Donovan's conjecture in the context of blocks of groups $G$ with defect group $D$ and normal subgroups $N \lhd G$ such that $G=C_D(D\cap N)N$, extending similar results for blocks with abelian defect groups. As an application we…

We study blocks of the double covers of symmetric and alternating groups. The main result is a `local' description, up to Morita equivalence, of arbitrary defect RoCK blocks of these groups in terms of generalized Schur superalgebras…
