Finite groups with a unique real $2$-block

Abstract

Let p be a prime, and let B be a p-block of a finite group G. A p-block B is called \emph{real} if the set of irreducible ordinary characters contained in B is invariant under complex conjugation. Motivated by Harris' classification of the finite groups with a unique p-block for an arbitrary prime p, and by McHugh and Schaeffer Fry's classification of the finite quasi-simple groups with a unique real $2$-block, we classify, in this paper, all finite groups admitting exactly one real $2$-block.
