Character degrees in blocks and defect 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...

Character degrees of p-groups and pro-p groups

In the 1970s, Isaacs conjectured that there should be a logarithmic bound for the length of solvability of a p-group G with respect to the number of different irreducible character degrees of G. So far, there are just a few partial results for this conjecture. In this note, we say that a pro-p group G has property (I) if there is a real number D = D(G) that just depends on G such that for any o...

Groups with Two Extreme Character Degrees and their Minimal Faithful Representations

for a finite group G, we denote by p(G) the minimal degree of faithful permutation representations of G, and denote by c(G), the minimal degree of faithful representation of G by quasi-permutation matrices over the complex field C. In this paper we will assume that, G is a p-group of exponent p and class 2, where p is prime and cd(G) = {1, |G : Z(G)|^1/2}. Then we will s...
