Dade's ordinary conjecture implies the Alperin-McKay conjecture

On the Inductive Alperin-McKay Conditions in the Maximally Split Case

The Alperin-McKay conjecture relates height zero characters of an $\ell$-block with the ones of its Brauer correspondent. This conjecture has been reduced to the so-called inductive Alperin-McKay conditions about quasi-simple groups by the third author. Those conditions are still open for groups of Lie type. The present paper describes characters of height zero in $\ell$-blocks of groups of Lie type over a field with $q$ elements when $\ell$ divides $q-1$. We also give information about $\ell$-blocks and Brauer correspondents. As an application we show that quasi-simple groups of type $C$ over…

Alperin-McKay natural correspondences in solvable and symmetric groups for the prime $p=2$

Let $G$ be a finite solvable or symmetric group and let $B$ be a $2$-block of $G$. We construct a canonical correspondence between the irreducible characters of height zero in $B$ and those in its Brauer first main correspondent. For symmetric groups our bijection is compatible with restriction of characters.

Degree divisibility in Alperin-McKay correspondences

Let p be a prime, B a p-block of a finite group G and b its Brauer correspondent. According to the Alperin-McKay Conjecture, there exists a bijection between the set of irreducible ordinary characters of height zero of B and those of b. In this paper, we show that whenever G is p-solvable such a bijection can be found, both for ordinary and Brauer characters, with the additional property of being compatible with divisibility of character degrees. In this case, we also show that the dimension of b divides the dimension of B.

Jordan Decomposition for the Alperin-McKay Conjecture

Späth showed that the Alperin-McKay conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups holds if the so-called inductive Alperin-McKay condition holds for all finite simple groups. In a previous article, we showed that the Bonnafé-Rouquier equivalence for blocks of finite groups of Lie type can be lifted to include automorphisms of groups of Lie type. We use our results to reduce the verification of the inductive condition for groups of Lie type to quasi-isolated blocks.

The Alperin-McKay Conjecture for metacyclic, minimal non-abelian defect groups

We prove the Alperin-McKay Conjecture for all $p$-blocks of finite groups with metacyclic, minimal non-abelian defect groups. These are precisely the metacyclic groups whose derived subgroup have order $p$. In the special case $p=3$, we also verify Alperin's Weight Conjecture for these defect groups. Moreover, in case $p=5$ we do the same for the non-abelian defect groups $C_{25}\rtimes C_{5^n}$. The proofs do not rely on the classification of the finite simple groups.

On the inductive Alperin-McKay condition for simple groups of type A

As a sequel to [CS13b], we verify the so-called inductive AM-condition introduced in [Sp12] for simple groups of type A and blocks with maximal defect. This is part of the program set up to verify the Alperin-McKay conjecture through its reduction to a problem on quasi-simple groups (see [Sp13]) but also the missing direction of Brauer's height zero conjecture (see [NS14])

Two remarks on the reduction of Alperin's weight conjecture

The so-called inductive McKay condition on finite simple groups, due to Isaacs-Malle-Navarro (2007), has been recently reformulated by Späth. We show that this reformulation applies to the reduction theorem for Alperin's weight conjecture, due to Navarro-Tiep (2011). This also simplifies the checking of the inductive condition for Alperin's weight conjecture in the case of simple groups of Lie type with regard to the defining prime.

Alternating sums over pi-subgroups

Dade's conjecture predicts that if p is a prime, then the number of irreducible characters of a finite group of a given p-defect is determined by local subgroups. In this paper we replace $p$ by a set of primes pi and prove a pi-version of Dade's conjecture for pi-separable groups. This extends the (known) p-solvable case of the original conjecture and relates to a pi-version of Alperin's weight conjecture previously established by the authors.

Finite groups with odd Sylow automizers

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. In this paper, we characterize the nonabelian composition factors of a finite group with odd $p$-Sylow automizers, and then prove that the McKay conjecture, the Alperin weight conjecture and the Alperin-McKay conjecture hold for such group.

Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture for metacyclic defect groups

We prove that Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture holds for p-blocks of finite groups with metacyclic defect groups. If the defect group is nonabelian and contains a cyclic maximal subgroup, we obtain the distribution into p-conjugate and p-rational irreducible characters. Then the Alperin-McKay Conjecture follows provided p=3. Along the way we verify a few other conjectures. Finally we consider the extraspecial defect group of order p^3 and exponent p^2 for an odd prime more closely. Here for blocks with inertial index 2 we prove the Galois-Alperin-McKay Conjecture by computing k_0(B). Then for p…

Blocks with defect group D_{2^n} * C_{2^m}

We determine the numerical invariants of blocks with defect group D_{2^n} * C_{2^m} = Q_{2^n} * C_{2^m} (central product), where n > 2 and m > 1. As a consequence, we prove Brauer's k(B)-conjecture, Olsson's conjecture (and more generally Eaton's conjecture), Brauer's height zero conjecture, the Alperin-McKay conjecture, Alperin's weight conjecture and Robinson's ordinary weight conjecture for these blocks. Moreover, we show that the gluing problem has a unique solution in this case.

Blocks with defect group D_{2^n} x C_{2^m}

We determine the numerical invariants of blocks with defect group D_{2^n}\times C_{2^m}, where D_{2^n} denotes a dihedral group of order 2^n and C_{2^m} denotes a cyclic group of order 2^m. This generalizes Brauer's results for m=0. As a consequence, we prove Brauer's k(B)-conjecture, Olsson's conjecture (and more generally Eaton's conjecture), Brauer's height zero conjecture, the Alperin-McKay conjecture, Alperin's weight conjecture and Robinson's ordinary weight conjecture for these blocks. Moreover, we show that the gluing problem has a unique solution in this case.

The Isaacs-Navarro Conjecture for covering groups of the symmetric and alternating groups in odd characteristic

In this paper, we prove that a refinement of the Alperin-McKay Conjecture for $p$-blocks of finite groups, formulated by I. M. Isaacs and G. Navarro in 2002, holds for all covering groups of the symmetric and alternating groups, whenever $p$ is an odd prime.
