If G is a finite group and p a fixed prime number, the irreducible representations of G are distributed into disjoint systems, the p-blocks. These blocks have been investigated especially by R. Brauer. In this note we are concerned with the problem: What is the structure of G which has only one p-block? Or more generally, what is the structure of G all of whose p-blocks have the highest defects?
