After observing that the principal block B of F PSU (3, p^ r) is stably equivalent of Morita type to its Brauer correspondent b, we show however that the centre of B is not isomorphic as an algebra to the centre of b in the cases (p, r) $\\in$ {(2, 2), (3, 1), (5, 1)}. As a consequence, the algebra B $\\otimes$ F[X]/X^p is not stably equivalent of Morita type to b $\\otimes$ F[X]/X^p in these cases. This yields a negative answer to a question of Rickard.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-07T12:18:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stably equivalent algebras", "tensor product", "morita type", "principal block", "brauer correspondent" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150101461B" } } }
