DESCRIPTION:Speaker:   Claudio Marchi - University of Manchester\n\nTitle
 : Picard groups for blocks with normal defect group\n\nAbstract: Picard 
 groups of algebras have extensively been studied in the past\, but just 
 recently people started looking at Picard groups of blocks of finite gro
 ups. These revealed themselves to be useful tools\, for example for deal
 ing with Donovan conjecture\, but they’re also interesting in their own 
 right\, since they have the structure of a finite group. In this talk we
  will give an introduction to Picard groups and Picent of blocks\, and t
 hen present joint work with Michael Livesey on blocks with normal defect
  groups\, providing evidence to a conjecture on basic Morita equivalence
