Authors: Jon F. Carlson, University of Georgia and Jacques Th\'evenaz, Universit\'e de Lausanne, Abstract: This paper settles a problem raised at the end of the seventies by J.L. Alperin, E.C. Dade and J.F. Carlson, namely the classification of torsion endo-trivial modules for a finite $p$-group over a field of characteristic~$p$. Our results also imply, at least when $p$ is odd, the complete classification of torsion endo-permutation modules. Status: We are about to submit it for publication.
