Fixed Point Spaces, Primitive Character Degrees and Conjugacy Class Sizes

CHARACTER DEGREES AND NILPOTENCE CLASS OF FINITE p-GROUPS: AN APPROACH VIA PRO-p GROUPS

Let S be a finite set of powers of p containing 1. It is known that for some choices of S, if P is a finite p-group whose set of character degrees is S, then the nilpotence class of P is bounded by some integer that depends on S, while for some other choices of S such an integer does not exist. The sets of the first type are called class bounding sets. The problem of determining the class bound...

On Finite Groups With Two Irreducible Character Degrees

p-divisibility of conjugacy class sizes and normal p-complements

LetN be a normal subgroup of a groupG and let p be a prime. We prove that if the p-part of jx j is a constant for every prime-power order element x 2 N n Z.N /, then N is solvable and has normal p-complement.

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...
