| The generating hypothesis for the stable module category of a $p$-group (2006) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| Freyd's generating hypothesis, interpreted in the stable module category of a finite p-group G, is the statement that a map between finite-dimensional kG-modules factors through a projective if the induced map on Tate cohomology is trivial. We show that Freyd's generating hypothesis holds for a non-trivial finite p-group G if and only if G is either C_2 or C_3. We also give various conditions which are equivalent to the generating hypothesis.. Comment: 6 pages, fixed minor typos, to appear in J. Algebra | |||||||||
