The torsion group of endotrivial modules

Abstract

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $T (G)$ be the abelian group of equivalence classes of endotrivial $k G$ -modules, where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$ . We determine, in terms of the structure of $G$ , the kernel of the restriction map from $T (G)$ to $T (S)$ , where $S$ is a Sylow $p$ -subgroup of $G$ , in the case when $S$ is abelian. This provides a classification of all torsion endotrivial $k G$ -modules in that case.
