In 1941, Brauer-Nesbitt established a characterization of a block with trivial defect group as a block B with $$k(B) = 1$$k(B)=1 where k(B) is the number of irreducible ordinary characters of B. In 1982, Brandt established a characterization of a block with defect group of order two as a block B with $$k(B) = 2$$k(B)=2. These correspond to the cases when the block is Morita equivalent to the one-dimensional algebra and to the non-semisimple two-dimensional algebra, respectively. In this paper… Expand
