Perfect isometries and isotypies are constructed for alternating groups between blocks with abelian defect groups and the Brauer correspondents of these blocks. These perfect isometries and isotypies satisfy additional compatibility conditions which imply that an extended Broue conjecture holds for the principal block of an almost simple group with an abelian Sylow psubgroup and a generalized Fitting subgroup isomorphic to an alternating group. Let G be a finite group and let 0 be a complete discrete valuation ring with field of quotients K of characteristic 0 and residue class field k of characteristic p > 0. We suppose that K contains a primitive IGI-th root of unity. In [4, (6.1)] Michel Broue posed the following Isotypy Conjecture. Let e be a block of OG with abelian defect group D and let f be the Brauer correspondent of e in (9NG (D). Then e and f are isotypic blocks. If G has an abelian Sylow p-subgroup, then the conjecture can be posed for the principal block of 0G. In this case the authors have shown that the conjecture holds provided an extended conjecture holds for the principal block of almost simple groups with an abelian Sylow p-subgroup (see [10, (5E)]). In this paper the isotypy conjecture for an arbitrary block with abelian defect group is proved for alternating groups. In addition, the extended conjecture is proved for the principal p-block of almost simple groups with abelian Sylow p-subgroups and generalized Fitting subgroup isomorphic to an alternating group. We recall the basic definitions. Let -: 0 k be the canonical quotient mapping and let -: OG kG be the induced 0-algebra homomorphism of the group algebras. In particular, -: e -*e induces a bijection between central idempotents of OG and kG. If e is a block idempotent of OG, let KGeMod be the category of left KGe-modules of finite type and let ZK (G, e) be the Grothendieck group of KGeMod. Let Gv be the set of irreducible characters of G over K. We identify R.K (G, e) with the free abelian group on (G, e)v = {X E Gv X(ge) = X(g) for all g E G}. Let CF(G, K) be the K-space of K-valued class functions on G, and let CF(G, e, K) be the K-subspace of class functions ae in CF(G, K) such that ao(ge) = a(g).
