The Picard group conjecture for blocks with TI defect groups

Let BB be a block of a finite group GG. The subgroup E(B)\mathcal{E}(B) of Pic(B)\operatorname{Pic}(B) consists of the Morita auto-equivalences represented by bimodules with endo-permutation source as O(G×G)\mathcal{O}(G\times G)-modules.

Picard group conjecture.

Pic(B)=E(B).\operatorname{Pic}(B)=\mathcal{E}(B).

The subgroup E(B)\mathcal{E}(B) is an important Morita invariant, and it is not known in general whether it is proper in the Picard group. The conjecture asserts that every Morita auto-equivalence of BB has endo-permutation source.
