Abstract
Let be a finite group and let be a field of characteristic . It is known that a -module carries a non-degenerate -invariant bilinear form if and only if is self-dual. We show that whenever a Morita bimodule which induces an equivalence between two blocks and of group algebras and is self-dual then the correspondence preserves self-duality. Even more, if the bilinear form on is symmetric then for odd the correspondence preserves the geometric type of simple modules. In characteristic 2 this holds also true for projective modules.
