The blockwise Galois Alperin weight conjecture for finite EI-categories

From papers

Let pp be a prime, let kk be an algebraic closure of Fp\mathbb{F}_p, let Γ=Gal(k/Fp)\Gamma={\rm Gal}(k/\mathbb{F}_p), and let C\mathcal{C} be a finite EI-category, meaning that every endomorphism is an isomorphism. Let bb be a central idempotent of kCk\mathcal{C}, let Γb\Gamma_b be its stabiliser in Γ\Gamma, let S(kCb)\mathcal{S}(k\mathcal{C}b) be the set of isomorphism classes of simple kCbk\mathcal{C}b-modules, and let W(kOC,b)\mathcal{W}(k\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{C}},b) be the set of bb-weights. Blockwise Galois Alperin weight conjecture. For any finite EI-category C\mathcal{C} and any central idempotent bb of kCk\mathcal{C}, there exists a bijection

S(kCb)W(kOC,b)\mathcal{S}(k\mathcal{C}b)\to\mathcal{W}(k\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{C}},b)

commuting with the action of Γb\Gamma_b. The paper explains that the general category version requires the EI hypothesis to define the relevant partition of weights by blocks, and reduces this conjecture to finite groups.
