1. INTRODUCTION AND NOTATION Let p be a prime and q s p n. Decomposition numbers of the symplectic group SpŽ4, q . in characteristics other than p are almost determined by White w6, 7x. But in case the characteristic divides q q 1, one column in the decomposition matrix of the principal block is only determined up to one parameter. We shall determine it in this paper ŽTheorem 2.3, below.. The ordinary characters and conjugacy classes of SpŽ4, q . are given in Srinivasan w4x and Enomoto w3x. We shall denote by r an odd prime which divides q q 1, and r d will denote the r-part of q q 1. We denote by G the symplectic group SpŽ4, q ., which is determined by the matrix 0 0 Js y1 0

The group G has two non-conjugate maximal parabolic subgroups Gs s ² B, s : and Gt s ² B, t :. To calculate the unknown parameter in the decomposition matrix for the principal r-block, we need to investigate restrictions of irreducible characters of G to Gs . We shall discuss characters of Gs in Section 4. We also need to give a module theoretical argument which is our main tool to obtain the result. This is done in Section 6 and a proof of our theorem is given in Section 7. Let Ž R, K, k s RrŽp .. be the splitting r-modular system.

The principal r-block B0 Ž G . has fi¨ e irreducible Brauer characters  k G s w 0 , w , ws , w t , wst 4 and a part of the decomposition matrix for B0 Ž G . is as follows.

Remark 2.2. In the above we changed the notation in w6, 7x, because we intended to give a unified argument both for q odd and even. In the notations there h s u 10 Ž x 5 ., x s s u 11Ž x 3 ., x t s u 12 Ž x4 ., and x st s u 13 Ž x6 .. The remaining part of the decomposition matrix can be read from the above. The inequality for a is improved as a - r d by Waki w8x. The next is our main theorem in this paper. THEOREM 2.3.

If r d s 3 then a s 1 else a s 2.

From Proposition 2.7.3Ži. in w2x, we can determine distinguished double coset representatives of parabolic subgroups. LEMMA 3.1. Ž1.

Let a polynomial X 2 y uX q 1 in GF Ž q .w X x be the minimal polynomial of n over GF Ž q .. We define a linear character r of Us to be r Ž l, m , b . s s Ž l q m q u b . and IL sŽ r . s  x g L s < r x s r 4 . LEMMA 4.1. 2 a b .< 2 0 1 Ž1. IL Ž r . s Ž yb 4 . This is a dihea q ub a q uab q b s 1 i 1 0 s dral group of order 2Ž q q 1.. Ž2. Each Gs-conjugate character of r is non-tri¨ ial on U0 . Ž3. If a linear character t of Us is not Gs-conjugate to r , there is a Gs-conjugate character of t which is tri¨ ial on U0 . Moreo¨ er if t is not tri¨ ial, IG sŽt . is an r 9-group.

If r x is trivial on U0 then c 2 q ucd q d 2 s 0. This contradicts the fact that the polynomial X 2 y uX q 1 is irreducible over GF Ž q .. Thus Ž2. is proved. We define linear characters t 1 and t 2 of Us to be t 1Ž l, m , b . [ s Ž b . and t 2 Ž l, m , b . [ s Ž l.. Moreover if q is odd, let t 2X be a linear character of Us such that t 2X Ž l, m , b . [ s Žgl. where g is a generator of the multiplicative group GF Ž q .=. Then it is easy to check that a set of representatives of Gs conjugacy classes of linear characters of Us is either  1, r , t 1 , t 2 4 Ž q:even. or  1, r , t 1 , t 2 , t 2X 4 Ž q:odd.. From this, Ž3. is proved. u. Let us denote K s s IL sŽ r .. Two elements x s s Ž 01 10 . and ys s Ž y1 0 1 are generators of K s . Since Us is an abelian group, r can be extended to the 0 . character rq of K s Us so that rqs 1 K s on K s . We define z to be Ž y1 0 y1 .

Let characters rq, ry, r 9, and r 0 of K s Us be the product with rq and the four characters above. In case q is even, characters r ", with r " Ž x s . s "1, are defined in the same way. Note that these linear characters are all of the linear composition factors in r K sUs . If q is odd, the elements x s and ys aren’t K s-conjugate but they are conjugate in L s . Let v be an element of L s , such that x sv s ys .  e, v 4 is a set of double coset representatives of K s _ L srBs . Moreover K s l Bs s ² ys , z : and K sv l Bs s ² x s , z :v s ² ys , z :.

5. BLOCKS OF Gs AND K s Since Us is a normal r 9-subgroup of Gs and IG sŽ r . s K s Us , we can get one to one correspondence between blocks of RGs covering r and those blocks of Rw K s Us x by Clifford’s theorem ŽFong’s reduction.. Indeed the corresponding blocks are Morita equivalent and the equivalence is given by inductions of modules. Moreover since Us is abelian and K s Us has a complement, a character r is extended to a character rq of K s Us Žsee Section 4.. Thus the set of blocks of Rw K s Us x, which cover r , is in one to one correspondence with the set of blocks of RK s . The corresponding blocks are also Morita equivalent and the equivalence is given by tensoring Rw K s x-modules with the R-form of rq. From now on, let b 0 be the principal block of RK s . We define a block b1 of Rw K s Us x and a block b of RGs to be corresponding to the block b 0 in the above correspondence. Since K s is a dihedral group, whose order is 2Ž q q 1., block b 0 is isomorphic to a group ring of a dihedral group of order 2 r d as algebras. The block b 0 contains two simple modules. We denote by Rq the & trivial module of b 0 and& by Ry the other one. We define b1-modules R " and b-modules Y "s R " G s to be corresponding to b 0-modules R ". If h " are ordinary characters of& Y ", then they are irreducible. Since r " are ordinary characters of R " , h "s r " G s. The characters h " are irreducible as Brauer characters and we denote their characters by w ". Now we can prove the following lemma for the character h of G. LEMMA 5.1. hG s s hy. Proof. Since h Ž e . s q Ž q y 1. 2r2 and h Ž0, m , 0. s yq Ž q y 1.r2 for all m in GF Ž q .=, hU0 s Ž q Ž q y 1.r2. = Ž Q y 1U0 . where Q is the regular character of U0 w3, 4x. From Lemma 4.1Ž3., ŽhUs, t . s 0 if t is not Gs-conjugate to r . Since r has q Ž q y 1. 2r2 Gs-conjugate characters, ŽhU , r . s 1, the character hG is one of the induced characters s s

6. STRUCTURE OF b-MODULES We denote by R G an RG-trivial module. We will use the following three exact sequences of RG-modules for the next two lemmas.

Ž t .. is the sequence obtained by the canonical epimorphism from R G sG Žresp. R G tG . to R G . Ž st . is a well known sequence as a realization of the Steinberg character and the character of X st is x st . The ordinary character of X sX is x s q j from Lemma 2.4. Since j is defect 0, X sX is a direct sum of X s and Z where the character of X s is x s and Z is a simple projective module corresponding to j . Similarly X tX is a direct sum of X t with character x t and Z. We will use the notations in Section 5: the block b1 of K s Us , the block b of Gs , b-modules Y ", and the ordinary characters h " of Y ". For an RG-module X, we denote the b-part of XG s by X b and B0 Ž Gs .-part of XG s by X B 0 ŽG s . where B0 Ž Gs . is the principal block of Gs . Let us denote a projective cover of an RGs-module X by QŽ X . and a kernel of the essential epimorphism from QŽ X . to X by V Ž X .. LEMMA 6.1. ti¨ e.

Ž2. X t b s 0, X t B ŽG . s V Ž R G ., and the other summand of X t G is 0 s s s projecti¨ e. Proof. The exact sequence Ž s . is split when it is restricted to Gs . From X Lemma 3.1, X sG s R B t l G sG s [ R L sG s. We denote B t l Gs by B9. Notice s that B9 is an r 9-subgroup. Then for any g in Gs ,

Since U0 is a subgroup of B9, Lemma 4.1Ž2. implies the right hand side of the equation is 0. This means that the b-part of R B 9G s is 0. Since & Gs K s Us Gs R L s K sUs s R K s , the b1-part of R L s K sUs is Rq . Thus the b-part of R L sG s is Yq Žsee the argument in Section 5.. Because Z is projective, this Yq is a summand of X sG s. Moreover by Lemma 3.1 the B0 Ž Gs .-part of R B 9G s and R L sG s are R B 9UsG s s R BG s and R L sUsG s s R G s since Ker B0 Ž Gs . > Us . R B 9UsG s s R BG s must be a summand of Z. The module R L sUsG s s R G s is the B0 Ž Gs .-part of X sG s as Ž1 BG s , x s . s 1 w3, 4x. From Lemma 3.1, R G tG G s s R BG s [ R B s t l G sG s. Thus the exact sequence Ž t . is a projective resolution of R G when it is restricted to Gs . The b-part s of R BG s s QŽ R G s . is 0. U0 ; B st l Gs by Lemma 3.1. Thus we can show the b-part of R B s t l G sG s is 0 in the same way as in case R B 9G s. Thus the b-part of X t is also 0. Both B0 Ž Gs .-parts of R BG s and R B s t l G sG s are QŽ R G s . as Ker B0 Ž Gs . > Us . One of the two is a summand of Z and the B0 Ž Gs .-part of X t is V Ž R G s .. The rest of proof is immediate from Lemma 4.1Ž3.. LEMMA 6.2.

7. PROOF OF THE THEOREM The notation  w 0 , ws , w t , wst , w 4 and  wq, wy 4 for the characters considered in Sections 2 and 5 will be used to denote the modules which afford the characters. We also use the notation for the blocks over R in Section 5 to denote the corresponding blocks over k. Note that all simple modules in the principal block B0 Ž G . are self dual. LEMMA 7.1. Let a kG-module M be a non-projecti¨ e part of a direct sum decomposition of ws m w t . Then M is self dual and its composition factors are aw q wst . Proof. From Lemma 2.4 and Theorem 2.1ŽWhite., it is easy to prove that non-projective parts of k G sG and k G tG are uniserial modules, whose Loewy series are

w0 ws w0

w0 wt . w0

and

From Lemma 3.1, k G sG m k G tG is projective. Thus

w0 w0 ws m w t s P Ž w 0 . [ P , w0 w0 where P Ž w 0 . is a projective cover of the trivial kG-module and P is a projective kG-module which does not have P Ž w 0 . as a direct summand. By tensoring the following two exact sequences

w0 w 0 ª w 0 ª ws ª 0 ª 0 ws w0

w0 w 0 ª w 0 ª w t ª 0 ª 0, wt w0

and

we obtain a new exact sequence

we have a new exact sequence 0 ª ws m w t ª

Let us denote a kernel of g by W. A Loewy structure of W is

In particular a top of W is w 0 . Thus from the exact sequence 0 ª ws m w t h ª P [ Vy1 Ž V . ª W ª 0, the module ws m w t is isomorphic to P [ y1 ŽKer h l V Ž V ... The module Ker h l Vy1 Ž V . is a subfactor of P Ž w 0 . and its composition factors are aw q wst from Theorem 2.1. Let us denote by X a kG-module XrX Žp . for an RG-module X and by H Ž S . a kG-module RadŽ QŽ S ..rSocŽ QŽ S .. for a simple kG-module S. LEMMA 7.2. Ž1. wsG s wq[ proj. s Ž2. w t G s H Ž k G .

By tensoring an AR-sequence 0 ª V Ž k G s . ª H Ž k G s . [ QŽ k G s . ª Vy1 Ž k G s . ª 0 by wq, we can construct an ARsequence of Vy1 Ž wq . since dim k wq, is an r 9-number Žsee w1x.. Thus H Ž k G s . m wq is isomorphic to the direct sum of H Ž wq . and some projective modules. So Ž3. follows from Ž1. and Ž2..

[ Vy1 Ž wq . does not occur by Lemma 7.2Ž3.. Proof of the Main Theorem. We shall calculate the variable a by an investigation of the structure of M. Since

wq wy wq Q Ž wq . s . , .. wy wq

both a top and the socle of Mb have only one copy of wy. Let us denote by M0 the minimal submodule of M, which contains wst as a composition factor. Since the multiplicity of wst is one, the module M0 can be determined uniquely. Note that a top of M0 is wst . First of all, we show that MrM0 / 0. If M is equal to M0 , the top of M is isomorphic to wst . From the self-duality of M, the socle of M is also wst . This means that M0 s wst s M. But this contradicts the fact a is not zero. Next we prove that MrM0 s w . All composition factors of MrM0 are isomorphic to w . We know that Ext 1k G sŽ wy, wy . s 0, and the multiplicity of wy in a top of Ž MrM0 . b s MbrM0 b is one. Thus from Lemma 6.3 Ž w b s wy ., we can get MrM0 s w . Finally, we show that Rad M0 s w if Rad M0 / 0. This follows by the same argument as in the above because composition factors of a module Rad M0 are all w and the multiplicity of wy in the socle of Mb is one.
