A reduction theorem for the Alperin weight conjecture

The Alperin Weight Conjecture was stated by J. Alperin in 1986 and constitutes one of the main problems in the representation theory of finite groups. In this paper, we provide a reduction to simple groups and as an application we prove the conjecture in several cases.
