We introduce a new type of equivalence between blocks of finite group algebras called a strong isotypy. A strong isotypy is equivalent to a p-permutation equivalence and restricts to an isotypy in the sense of Broué. To prove these results we first establish that the group T O (B) of trivial source B-modules, where B is a block of a finite group algebra, is isomorphic to groups of "coherent character tuples." This provides a refinement of work by Boltje and Carman which characterizes the ring T O (G) of trivial source OG-modules, where G is a finite group, in terms of coherent character tuples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
