5-modular blocks of A5 (source code)

= 5-modular blocks of A5
{c}

Over a splitting field of characteristic five, $A_5$ has a principal block of defect $C_5$ containing the ordinary characters of degrees $1,3,3,4$, and one defect-zero block containing the ordinary character of degree $5$. If $P$ is a Sylow 5-subgroup, then $N_{A_5}(P)\cong D_{10}$ and its unique 5-block is the Brauer correspondent of the principal block of $A_5$.
