## Blocks with basic algebras of dimension at most 14

In [Li18b] Markus Linckelmann calculated the $k$-algebras of dimension at most twelve which occur as basic algebras of blocks of finite groups, with the exception of one case of dimension 9 where no block with that basic algebra was identified[1]. This final case was ruled out by Linckelmann and Murphy in [LM20]. Using the classification of finite simple groups, the basic algebras of dimension 13 or 14 for blocks of finite groups were calculated by Sambale in [Sa20].

The results are incorporated into the table below.

## Notes

1. The algebra of dimension 9 has the following structure. Quiver: a:<1,2>, b:<2,1>, c:<1,1>, d:<1,1> Relations w.r.t. $k$: ab=c^3=d^2, cd=dc=0, ca=bc=da=bd=0 Cartan matrix: $\left( \begin{array}{cc} 5 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 \\ \end{array} \right)$ A corresponding $\mathcal{O}$-block would have decomposition matrix $\left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 \\ \end{array}\right)$ Labelling the simple modules by $S_1, S_2$, the projective indecomposable modules have Loewy structure as follows: $\begin{array}{cc} \begin{array}{ccc} & S_1 & \\ S_2 & \begin{array}{c} S_1 \\ S_1 \\ \end{array} & S_1 \\ & S_1 & \\ \end{array} , & \begin{array}{c} S_2 \\ S_1 \\ S_2 \\ \end{array} \end{array}$
