Navarro–Tiep–Vallejo's principal 2-block conjecture

Let GG be a finite group and let PSyl2(G)P\in\operatorname{Syl}_2(G). Let σGal(Qab/Q)\sigma\in\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}^{\mathrm{ab}}/\mathbb{Q}) be the unique automorphism that fixes 22-roots of unity and squares odd roots of unity. Navarro–Tiep–Vallejo's principal 2-block conjecture. The principal 22-block of NG(P)N_G(P) contains exactly one irreducible Brauer character if and only if every odd-degree ordinary irreducible character in the principal 22-block of GG is fixed by σ\sigma. This is a block-theoretic analogue of the self-normalizing Sylow 2-subgroup conjecture. The corresponding analogue is known for odd primes, while the case =2\ell=2 is the focus of the paper and remains open.
