Speaker: Michael Livesey Title: Towards RoCK blocks for double covers of symmetric and alternating group

Abstract: In this talk I will give an overview of RoCK blocks and their significance in attacking Broue's abelian defect group conjecture. I will then go on to talk about RoCK blocks for double covers of symmetric and alternating groups and the unexpected difficulties one encounters when compared to the standard symmetric group situation. (This is ongoing joint work with A. Kleshchev.)
