Let W be a module for L endowed with a compatible G-grading, and let ϕ : Ĝ GL(W ) : χ ϕ χ the associated action. The compatibility condition is equivalent to: ϕ χ (xw) = α χ (x)ϕ χ (w) for any x L, w W, χ Ĝ.

If α Int(L), then V α = V, so the action of Aut(L) factors through Out(L) = Aut(L)/ Int(L). 16 / 35

74 Brauer invariant and Schur index Proposition The L-module (V λ ) k admits a Ḡ = G/H λ -grading that makes it a graded simple L-module (where L is endowed with the natural induced Ḡ-grading) if and only if k equals the Schur index of λ. This grading is unique up to isomorphism and shift. Sketch of proof: End((V λ ) k ) = M k (F) End(V λ ). If k is the Schur index of λ and D represents Br(λ), then D op = M k (F). Thus End((V λ ) k ) admits a Ḡ-grading with End((V λ ) k ) = D op End(V λ ) = D op M r (D). Hence [End((V λ ) k )] = 1, so the Ḡ-grading on (V λ ) k is elementary, i.e., it is induced by a Ḡ-grading on (V λ) k. 21 / 35
