Donovan Conjecture


Donovan's conjecture asserts that, over a fixed algebraically closed field k of prime characteristic p, only finitely many Morita equivalence classes of blocks of finite group algebras have a given defect group. A bounded-defect formulation allows any defect group of order at most a fixed integer M. The ambient finite groups are unrestricted.
