Let be the Sylow p-subgroup of upper unitriangular matrices. It is cyclic of order , generated by
Realize as the homogeneous polynomials of degree in , with acting by and . For , the only vectors fixed by are the multiples of : successive comparison of the coefficients of proves this. Thus the nilpotent operator has one-dimensional kernel. Its Jordan normal form therefore has a single block, so
This also follows from the indecomposable modules of a cyclic p-group in characteristic p.
For , the restriction has dimension and is the regular -module, hence is projective. Since is prime to , part (b)(ii) makes a simple projective -module. It is therefore a defect-zero representation and lifts to an ordinary irreducible representation of the same dimension. Consequently
The decomposition matrix separates into two connected components. The first contains and ; it is the principal block . The second contains only and ; since contains the full 5-part of , this is a defect-zero representation and its block has defect group .
For , the normalizer is , so the Brauer correspondence is the identity and corresponds to itself.
The defect group of the principal block is a Sylow 5-subgroup . There are six Sylow 5-subgroups in , so the orbit-stabilizer theorem gives
The centralizer of a 5-cycle in is , and an involution in the normalizer acts on by inversion. Hence
In characteristic five the simple -modules are inflated from : their Brauer characters are and on the identity and involution classes. If are the two one-dimensional and two two-dimensional ordinary characters of , their reductions are
The resulting decomposition matrix is connected, so these characters form the unique 5-block of , with defect group . By the Brauer first main theorem,
This is the complete 5-modular blocks of A5 correspondence.
