Abstract

The decomposition numbers in characteristic 2 of the groups of Ree type are determined, as well as the Loewy and socle series of the indecomposable projective modules. Moreover, we describe the Green correspondents of the simple modules. As an application of this and similar works on other simple groups with an abelian Sylow 2-subgroup, all of which have been classified apart from those considered in the present paper, we show that the Loewy length of an indecomposable projective module in the principal block of any finite group with an abelian Sylow 2-subgroup of order 2 n {2^n} is bounded by max { 2 n + 1 , 2 n } \max \{ 2n\, + \,1,\,{2^n}\} . This bound is the best possible.
