As an application we show that Donovan's conjecture holds for blocks with defect groups of the form $Q_8 \\times C_{2^n}$ or $Q_8 \\times Q_8$ defined over a discrete valuation ring.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-19T15:02:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20C20" ], "keywords": [ "extensions", "centralizer", "abelian defect groups", "donovans conjecture holds", "extending similar results" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
