Alperin–McKay–Navarro conjecture

About 7 years old · traced to

Let GG be a finite group, let pp be a prime, and let BB be a pp-block of GG with defect group DD. Let bb be the Brauer correspondent of BB in NG(D)N_G(D). Let H\mathcal H be the subgroup of Gal⁡(Q∣G∣/Q)\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}_{|G|}/\mathbb{Q}) generated by the field automorphisms sending each p′p'-root of unity ξ\xi to ξpe\xi^{p^e} for some integer ee, and let HB\mathcal H_B be the stabilizer of BB under this action. Write Irr⁡0(B)\operatorname{Irr}_0(B) for the height-zero irreducible characters in BB. Alperin–McKay–Navarro conjecture. There is an HB\mathcal H_B-equivariant bijection

Irr⁡0(B)⟶Irr⁡0(b).\operatorname{Irr}_0(B)\longrightarrow\operatorname{Irr}_0(b).

This is the equivariant refinement of the Alperin–McKay conjecture, comparing height-zero characters of a block with those of its Brauer correspondent. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
