In this paper, the Brauer trees are completed for the sporadic simple Lyons group Ly in characteristics 37 and 67. The results are obtained using tools from computational representation theory—in particular, a new condensation technique—and with the assistance of the computer algebra systems MeatAxe and GAP.
