Let k be a field of characteristic p. LetG be a finite group of order divisible by p and P a p-Sylow subgroup ofG. We describe the kernel of the restriction homomorphism T (G)→ T (P ), for T (−) the group of endotrivial representations. Our description involves functionsG→ k that we call weak P -homomorphisms. These are generalizations to possibly non-normal P ≤ G of the classical homomorphisms G/P → k appearing in the normal case.
