%0 Journal Article %T The torsion group of endotrivial modules %A Jon F. Carlson %A Jacques Th¨¦venaz %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X Let G be a finite group and let T(G) be the abelian group of equivalence classes of endotrivial kG-modules, where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We determine, in terms of the structure of G, the kernel of the restriction map from T(G) to T(S), where S is a Sylow p-subgroup of G, in the case when S is abelian. This provides a classification of all torsion endotrivial kG-modules in that case. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1408.3982v2
