Abstract. Let p be an odd prime and let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Also, let G be a finite p 0 -group. By Maschke's theorem, kG is isomorphic to a product Q t i¼1 End k ðV i Þ as a k-algebra. Suppose that a p-subgroup P of AutðGÞ stabilizes End k ðV i0 Þ for some i 0 . Such a V i0 will be an endo-permutation kP-module. Puig showed that the only modules that occur in this way are those whose image is torsion in the Dade group DðPÞ.If G is any finite group and b is a defect zero block of kG, then kGb G End k ðLÞ for some L. If kGb is P-stable for some p-subgroup P of AutðGÞ and Br P ðbÞ 0 0, then L will again be an endo-permutation kP-module. We show that if p d 5, then L is torsion in DðPÞ. This result depends on the classification of the finite simple groups.
