Character degrees of p-groups and pro-p groups

چکیده
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 open normal subgroup N , dl(G/N) log2 |cd(G/N)|+D. We prove that any p-adic analytic pro-p group has property (I). We also study the first congruence subgroup G of a classical Chevalley group G with respect to the local ring Fp t . We show that if Lie(G)(Fp) has a non-degenerated Killing form, then G has property (I). 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Groups whose Bipartite Divisor Graph for Character Degrees Has Five Vertices
Let $G$ be a finite group and $cd^*(G)$ be the set of nonlinear irreducible character degrees of $G$. Suppose that $rho(G)$ denotes the set of primes dividing some element of $cd^*(G)$. The bipartite divisor graph for the set of character degrees which is denoted by $B(G)$, is a bipartite graph whose vertices are the disjoint union of $rho(G)$ and $cd^*(G)$, and a vertex $p in rho(G)$ is conne...
متن کاملGroups 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...
متن کاملAFFINE 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...
متن کاملLower Bounds for Representation Growth
This article examines lower bounds for the representation growth of finitely generated (particularly profinite and pro-p) groups. It also considers the related question of understanding the maximal multiplicities of character degrees in finite groups, and in particular simple groups.
