Abstract
Let B be a 3-block of a finite group G with a defect group D. In this paper, we are mainly concerned with the number of characters in a particular block, so we shall use Isaacs’ approach to block structure. We consider the block B of a group G as a union of two sets, namely a set of irreducible ordinary characters of G having cardinality k(B) and a set of irreducible Brauer characters of G having cardinality l(B). We calculate k(B) and l(B) provided that D is normal in G and $$D \cong \left\langle {x,y,z|x^{3^n } = y^{3^m } = z^3 = \left[ {x,z} \right] = \left[ {y,z} \right] = 1,\left[ {x,y} \right] = z} \right\rangle \left( {n > m \geqslant 2} \right)$$ .
