Torsion-free endotrivial modules

Let G be a finite group and let T(G) be the abelian group of equivalence classes of endotrivial kG-modules, where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We investigate the torsion-free part TF(G) of the group T(G) and look for generators o ...

Endotrivial modules over groups with quaternion or semi-dihedral Sylow 2-subgroup

Jacques Thévenaz, Nadia Mazza

Let G be a finite group with a Sylow 2-subgroup P which is either quaternion or semi-dihedral. Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We prove the existence of exotic endotrivial kG-modules, whose restrictions to P are isomorphic to th ...

Endotrivial modules for p-solvable groups

Jacques Thévenaz, Nadia Mazza

We determine the torsion subgroup of the group of endotrivial modules for a finite solvable group in characteristic p. We also prove that our result would hold for p-solvable groups, provided a conjecture can be proved about the case of p-nilpotent groups. ...

Endotrivial modules in the cyclic case

Jacques Thévenaz, Nadia Mazza

We determine all endotrivial modules in prime characteristic p, for a finite group having a cyclic Sylow p-subgroup. In other words, we describe completely the group of endotrivial modules in that case. ...
