On the source algebra equivalence class of blocks with cyclic defect groups, I

We investigate the source algebra class of a p-block with cyclic defect groups of the group algebra of a finite group. By the work of Linckelmann this class is parametrized by the Brauer tree of the block together with a sign function on its vertices and an endo-permutation module of a defect group. We prove that this endo-permutation module can be read off from the character table of the group. We also prove that this module is trivial for all cyclic p-blocks of quasisimple groups with a simple quotient which is a sporadic group, an alternating group, a group of Lie type in defining characteristic, or a group of Lie type in cross-characteristic for which the prime p is large enough in a certain sense.
