โฆ Synopsis
The irreducible Brauer characters of SL q are investigated for primes l not n ลฝ . dividing q. They are described in terms of a set of ordinary characters of SL q n whose reductions modulo l are a generating set of the additive group of generalized Brauer characters and the decomposition numbers of this set. These decomposition numbers are described by combinatorial means in terms of the decomposi-ลฝ . tion numbers of GL q . The latter have been investigated in great detail the last n 15 years and are known completely for n F 10. แฎ 1999 Academic Press * This paper is a contribution to the DFG project ''Algorithmic Number Theory and Algebra.''

Rickard have proved Brouรฉ's Abelian defect group conjecture for many symmetric groups. We adapt the ideas of Kessar and Chuang towards finite general linear groups (represented over non-describing characteristic). We then describe Morita equivalences between certain p-blocks of GL n q with defect gr

In representation theory of finite groups, there is a well-known and important conjecture due to M. Broue. He has conjectured that, for any prime p, if a finite วตroup G has an abelian Sylow p-subgroup P, then the principal p-blocks of G and ลฝ . the normalizer N P of P in G are derived equivalent. Le
