Donovan's conjecture for blocks with fixed defect group
Donovan's conjecture for blocks with fixed defect group
Let be a prime, let be the coefficient field, and let be a finite -group. For a finite group , a block of has defect group isomorphic to if its defect group is isomorphic to .
Donovan's conjecture. Amongst all finite groups and blocks of with defect group isomorphic to , there are only finitely many Morita equivalence classes.
If true, this would imply that Morita Frobenius numbers are bounded in terms of a function of the isomorphism class of the defect group. The paper's main theorem shows that Morita Frobenius numbers can nevertheless be arbitrarily large when the defect group varies; the conjecture's status is not resolved in the supplied context.
