Relatively endotrivial complexes

Let G be a finite group and k a field of characteristic $p > 0$. We use the notion of projectivity relative to a $kG$-module to define multiple notions of relatively endotrivial chain complexes, extending the definition of an endotrivial chain complex. These definitions are motivated by Lassueur's analogous construction of relatively endotrivial $kG$-modules. Similar to the study of endotrivial modules, we obtain equivalent characterizations of relative endotriviality and corresponding h-mark homomorphisms which determine the isomorphism class of a relatively endotrivial complex up to a torsion element. Additionally, we study the homomorphism induced by restriction of relatively endotrivial complexes to subgroups containing Sylow p-subgroups S of G. One result of this investigation is that the group Eₖ(G) of endotrivial complexes is isomorphic to a direct product of its torsion subgroup Hom(G,k^×) and a fusion-stable subgroup of Eₖ(S).
