The block-exoticity conjecture for exotic fusion systems

Let pp be a prime, let PP be a finite pp-group, and let F\mathcal F be a saturated fusion system on PP. The fusion system F\mathcal F is exotic if it is not of the form FP(G)\mathcal F_P(G) for a finite group GG with PSylp(G)P\in\operatorname{Syl}_p(G); it is block-exotic if it is not of the form F(P,eP)(G,b)\mathcal F_{(P,e_P)}(G,b) for a finite group GG and a pp-block bb with maximal bb-Brauer pair (P,eP)(P,e_P). Block-exoticity conjecture. If F\mathcal F is an exotic fusion system, then F\mathcal F is block-exotic. This conjecture asks whether every exotic fusion system fails to arise from a block, whereas every realisable fusion system is block-realisable by the principal-block case of Brauer's Third Main Theorem. It remains open.
