Abstract

Motivated by a problem concerning the structure of certain 3-

blocks of defect 2 in finite groups we investigate a class of local algebras of

dimension 9 over a field of characteristic 3. In particular, we compute the

complexity of the unique simple module for any such algebra.

Keywords
