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