Character degrees and local subgroups of $\pi $-separable groups

AFFINE SUBGROUPS OF THE CLASSICAL GROUPS AND THEIR CHARACTER DEGREES

In this paper we describe how the degrees of the irreducible characters of the affine subgroups of the classical groups under consideration can be found inductively. In [4] Gow obtained certain character degrees for all of the affine subgroups of the classical groups. We apply the method of Fischer to the above groups and, in addition to the character degrees given in [4], we obtain some ne...

Groups with Two Extreme Character Degrees and Their Normal Subgroups

We study the finite groups G for which the set cd(G) of irreducible complex character degrees consists of the two most extreme possible values, that is, 1 and |G : Z(G)|1/2. We are easily reduced to finite p-groups, for which we derive the following group theoretical characterization: they are the p-groups such that |G : Z(G)| is a square and whose only normal subgroups are those containing G′ ...

A Local Conjecture on Brauer Character Degrees of Finite Groups

Recently, a new conjecture on the degrees of the irreducible Brauer characters of a finite group was presented in [16]. In this paper we propose a ’local’ version of this conjecture for blocks B of finite groups, giving a lower bound for the maximal degree of an irreducible Brauer character belonging to B in terms of the dimension of B and well-known invariants like the defect and the number of...
