Arbitrarily large $\mathcal{O}$-Morita Frobenius numbers

Abstract

We construct blocks of finite groups with arbitrarily large $\mathcal{O}$-Morita Frobenius numbers. There are no known examples of two blocks defined over $\mathcal{O}$ that are not Morita equivalent but the corresponding blocks defined over $k$ are. Therefore, the above strongly suggests that Morita Frobenius numbers are also unbounded, which would answer a question of Benson and Kessar.
