Abstract

Answering a question of Pálfy and Pyber, we first prove the following extension of the k(GV)-problem: Let G be a finite group and let A be a coprime automorphism group of G. Then the number of conjugacy classes of the semidirect product G × A is at most |G|.As a consequence,we verify Brauer's k(B)-conjecture for π-blocks of π-separable groups which was proposed by Y. Liu. This generalizes the corresponding result for blocks of p-solvable groups.We also discuss equality in Brauer's Conjecture. On the other hand,we construct a counterexample to a version of Olsson's Conjecture for π-blocks which was also introduced by Liu.
