McKay–Navarro conjecture for principal blocks

From papers

Let GG be a finite group, let pp be a prime, and let PP be a Sylow pp-subgroup of GG. Let B0B_0 be the principal pp-block of GG and b0b_0 the principal pp-block of NG(P)N_G(P). Let H\mathcal H be the subgroup of Galois automorphisms that act by a power map on roots of unity of order prime to pp, and let Irrp(B0)\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(B_0) denote the irreducible characters in B0B_0 of degree prime to pp. McKay–Navarro conjecture for principal blocks. Every σH\sigma\in\mathcal H fixes the same number of characters in Irrp(B0)\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(B_0) as in Irrp(b0)\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(b_0), namely

Irrp(B0)σ=Irrp(b0)σ.|\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(B_0)^\sigma|=|\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(b_0)^\sigma|.

This is the principal-block instance of the blockwise McKay–Navarro conjecture and would imply the preceding 2-generation criterion in the relevant case; the source treats it as open.
