Abstract

The author carries out a detailed study of p-blocks with normal metacyclic defect groups provided that p is odd and the defect groups are splitting and nonabelian. In particular, the author constructs all the irreducible ordinary and modular characters in this type of blocks. As a by-product, k(B) and l(B) are obtained.
