Abstract

Broué’s abelian defect conjecture [3, 6.2] predicts for a p-block of a finite group G with an abelian defect group P a derived equivalence between the block algebra and its Brauer correspondent. By a result of Rickard [11], such a derived equivalence would in particular imply a stable equivalence induced by tensoring with a suitable bimodule - and it appears that these stable equivalences in turn tend to be obtained by “gluing” together Morita equivalences at the local levels of the considered blocks; see e.g. [4, 6.3], [8, 3.1], [12, 4.1], and [13, 5.6, A.4.1]. This note provides a technical indecomposability result which is intended to verify in suitable circumstances the hypotheses that are necessary to apply gluing results as mentioned above. This is used in [7] to show that Broué’s abelian defect group conjecture holds for nonprincipal blocks of the simple Held group and the sporadic Suzuki group.
