A reduction theorem for the Navarro Alperin weight conjecture

Abstract

The Alperin weight conjecture has been reduced to simple groups by Navarro and Tiep. In this paper, we investigate the Navarro Alperin weight conjecture, which includes Galois automorphisms and group automorphisms in comparison with the original version, and give a reduction to simple groups. As an application, we prove the conjecture for the finite groups with abelian Sylow 2-subgroups.
