Abstract:Recently, Malle and Navarro put forward a projective version of Brauer's celebrated height zero conjecture on blocks of finite groups. In this short note we show that Brauer's original conjecture implies the projective version.The following is a long-standing conjecture in representation theory of finite groups: Conjecture 1 (Brauer's height zero conjecture [2, Problem 23]). Let B be a block of a finite group with defect D. Then every irreducible character in B has height 0 if and only if D is abelian. Recentl… Show more
