Controlling fusion in saturated fusion systems
Thursday April 3, 2008
03:30PM - 04:30PM
Speakers:
Radha Kessar
Abstract:
Saturated fusion systems were introduced by L. Puig in order to distill the common essence of $p$-fusion in finite groups and the fusion of Brauer pairs in modular representation theory. The work of
C.Broto, R.Levi and R.Oliver studying $p$-completed classifying spaces of finite groups through the ambient fusion systems has generated much interest in these categories. In my talk, I will
explain how some of the homological machinery developed around fusion
systems can be used to carry over classical theorems of Glauberman
and others on control of p$-fusion in finite groups to the realm of saturated fusion systems.
