In a paper of 2003, B. K\"ulshammer, J. B. Olsson and G. R. Robinson defined $\ell$-blocks for the symmetric groups, where $\ell >1$ is an arbitrary integer, and proved that they satisfy an analogue of the Nakayama Conjecture. Inspired by…

Following the work of B. Kuelshammer, J. B. Olsson and G. R. Robinson on generalized blocks of the symmetric groups, we give a definition for the \ell-defect of characters of the symmetric group S_n, where \ell > 1 is an arbitrary integer.…

In this paper, we classify all $2$-blocks for which the defect groups are abelian and the inertial quotient has prime order. As a consequence, we prove that Brou\'e's abelian defect group conjecture holds for all blocks under consideration…

We prove that if $B$ is a $p$-block with non-trivial defect group $D$ of a finite $p$-solvable group $G$, then $\ell(B) < p^r$, where $r$ is the sectional rank of $D$. We remark that there are infinitely many $p$-blocks $B$ with non-Abelian…

We determine the numerical invariants of blocks with defect group D_{2^n}\times C_{2^m}, where D_{2^n} denotes a dihedral group of order 2^n and C_{2^m} denotes a cyclic group of order 2^m. This generalizes Brauer's results for m=0. As a…

In this paper we classify all blocks with defect group $C_{2^n}\times C_2\times C_2$ up to Morita equivalence. Together with a recent paper of Wu, Zhang and Zhou, this completes the classification of Morita equivalence classes of $2$-blocks…

The first author has recently classified the Morita equivalence classes of 2-blocks B of finite groups with elementary abelian defect group of order 32. In all but three cases he proved that the Morita equivalence class determines the…

In the representation theory of finite groups, Brou\'e's abelian defect group conjecture says that for any prime p if a p-block A of a finite group G has an abelian defect group P, then A and its Brauer corresponding block B of the…

H. Miyachi and W. Turner have independently proved that Broue's Abelian Defect Group Conjecture holds for certain unipotent blocks of the finite general linear group, the so-called Rouquier blocks. This together with A. Marcus and J. Chuang…

In representation theory of finite groups, there is a well-known and important conjecture due to M. Brou\'e. He conjectures that, for any prime $p$, if a $p$-block $A$ of a finite group $G$ has an abelian defect group $P$, then $A$ and its…

We study numerical invariants of 2-blocks with minimal nonabelian defect groups. These groups were classified by R\'edei. If the defect group is also metacyclic, then the block invariants are known. In the remaining cases there are only two…

Brou\'{e}'s Abelian Defect Conjecture predicts interesting derived equivalences between derived categories of modular representations of finite groups. We investigate a generalization of Brou\'{e}'s Conjecture to ring spectrum coefficients…

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…

K\"ulshammer, Olsson, and Robinson developed an l-analogue of modular representation theory of symmetric groups where l is not necessarily a prime. They gave a conjectural combinatorial description for invariant factors of the Cartan matrix…

In by now classical work, K. Erdmann classified blocks of finite groups with dihedral defect groups (and more generally algebras of dihedral type) up to Morita equivalence. In the explicit description by quivers and relations of such…

We determine the numerical invariants of blocks with defect group D_{2^n} * C_{2^m} = Q_{2^n} * C_{2^m} (central product), where n > 2 and m > 1. As a consequence, we prove Brauer's k(B)-conjecture, Olsson's conjecture (and more generally…

Using the classification of finite simple groups we prove Alperin's weight conjecture and the character theoretic version of Broue's abelian defect group conjecture for 2-blocks of finite groups with an elementary abelian defect group of…

We consider real versions of Brauer's k(B) conjecture, Olsson's conjecture and Eaton's conjecture. We prove the real version of Eaton's conjecture for 2-blocks of groups with cyclic defect group and for the principal 2-blocks of groups with…

We classify all $2$-blocks with abelian defect groups of rank $4$ up to Morita equivalence. The classification holds for blocks over a suitable discrete valuation ring as well as for those over an algebraically closed field. An application…
