Real 2-blocks in quasi-simple groups
Abstract
We determine which quasi-simple groups have a non-principal 2-block that is stable under complex conjugation. As a corollary, we determine that the Mathieu group M22 is the only simple group not possessing a nontrivial irreducible Brauer character of quadratic type, answering a recent question of Gow and Murray.
