In the theory of modular representations of a finite group G in an algebraically closed field Ω of characteristic p, Brauer has proved a useful reduction theorem for blocks [2, §§11, 12], [5, (88.8)], which can be reformulated as follows:

THEOREM 1 (Brauer). Let P bean arbitraryp-subgroup of G; let N = NG(P) and W = PCG(P).
