On saturated fusion systems and Brauer indecomposability of Scott modules

Let $p$ be a prime number, $G$ a finite group, $P$ a $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We study the relationship between the category $\Ff_P(G)$ and the behavior of $p$-permutation $kG$-modules with vertex $P$ under the Brauer construction. We give a sufficient condition for $\Ff_P(G)$ to be a saturated fusion system. We prove that for Scott modules with abelian vertex, our condition is also necessary. In order to obtain our results, we prove a criterion for the categories arising from the data of $(b, G)$-Brauer pairs in the sense of Alperin-Broué and Broué-Puig to be saturated fusion systems on the underlying $p$-group.
