Abstract

In this chapter we are able to determine the invariants of block whose defect groups are direct and central products of metacyclic 2-groups. More precisely, we consider products of cyclic groups and 2-groups of maximal nilpotency class. These are the dihedral, semidihedral and quaternion groups. As an application we verify several open conjectures for these special cases.
