Abstract

Let Z be a normal subgroup of a finite group, let p ≠ 5 be a prime and let λ ∈ IBr(Z) be an irreducible G-invariant p-Brauer character of Z. Suppose that λG = eφ for some φ ∈ IBr(G). Then G/Z is solvable. In other words, a twisted group algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not 5 with a unique class of simple modules comes from a solvable group.
