Abstract

Let GG be a finite group with a Sylow 2-subgroup PP which is either quaternion or semi-dihedral. Let kk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We prove the existence of exotic endotrivial kGkG-modules, whose restrictions to PP are isomorphic to the direct sum of the known exotic endotrivial kPkP-modules and some projective modules. This provides a description of the group T(G)T (G) of endotrivial kGkG-modules.
