Refinements of Dade's Projective Conjecture for p-solvable groups

Dade's Projective Conjecture is known to be true for finite p-solvable groups thanks to work of G.R. Robinson, but remains open in general. Work of Isaacs and Navarro suggested to Uno and Boltje refinements of this conjecture. These refinements were studied for finite p-solvable groups by Glesser. In the present paper, inspired by earlier work of Turull, we propose further refinements of the conjecture that take into account the Schur indices and the elements of the Brauer group. We prove that all these refinements of Dade's Projective Conjecture hold for all finite p-solvable groups. In particular, we obtain that the version of Dade's Projective Conjecture which involves character degree residues modulo p, fields of definition and Schur indices, as well as the full strength of Boltje's Conjecture both hold for all finite p-solvable groups. The proof develops a Clifford theory for normalizers of chains of p-subgroups which allows one to reduce the calculation of the relevant sums to simpler groups.
