Barker–Gelvin uniform source algebra conjecture for blocks
Barker–Gelvin uniform source algebra conjecture for blocks
Let be a finite group, let divide , and let be a block idempotent of with non-trivial defect group. A source algebra of is the interior -algebra associated with a source idempotent for , where is a defect group of . A source algebra is uniform if it admits a -stable unital basis. Barker–Gelvin's conjecture. Every source algebra of is uniform. This conjecture asks whether source algebras of blocks over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic always possess a basis compatible with the left and right defect-group actions and consisting of units. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
