Degrees of irreducible modular characters of blocks with cyclic defect groups

Some connections between powers of conjugacy classes and degrees of irreducible characters in solvable groups

‎Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎We say that the derived covering number of $G$ is finite if and only if there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $C^n=G'$ for all non-central conjugacy classes $C$ of $G$‎. ‎In this paper we characterize solvable groups $G$ in which the derived covering number is finite‎.‎ 

On Finite Groups With Two Irreducible Character Degrees

Modular Representation Theory of Blocks with Trivial Intersection Defect Groups

We show that Uno’s refinement of the projective conjecture of Dade holds for every block whose defect groups intersect trivially modulo the maximal normal p-subgroup. This corresponds to the block having p-local rank one as defined by Jianbei An and Eaton. An immediate consequence is that Dade’s projective conjecture, Robinson’s conjecture, Alperin’s weight conjecture, the Isaacs– Navarro conje...

On Degrees of Irreducible Brauer Characters

Based on a large amount of examples, which we have checked so far, we conjecture that |G|p′ ≤ ∑ φ φ(1) 2 where p is a prime and the sum runs through the set of irreducible Brauer characters in characteristic p of the finite group G. We prove the conjecture simultaneously for p-solvable groups and groups of Lie type in the defining characteristic. In non-defining characteristics we give asymptot...
