Description A large part of the project concerns Picard groups for blocks of finite groups. In recent research, these have been crucial in classifying blocks of finite groups up to Morita equivalence, however relatively little was known about them. For instance, they had only been calculated in restricted cases. In work by Livesey, Eaton and Livesey and Livesey and Marchi, Picard groups are determined in a wide range of cases, giving a foundation for further study. This further study includes work by Livesey and Linckelmann on bounding the size of certain important subgroups of the Picard group.
Exploitation Route A foundation of cases in which the Picard group is known provides the means for further research on this emerging theme of study.
