AFFINE SUBGROUPS OF THE CLASSICAL GROUPS AND THEIR CHARACTER DEGREES

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 new ch...

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′ ...

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...

Maximal subgroups of finite classical groups and their geometry

We survey some recent results on maximal subgroups of finite classical groups. WE MUST LIVE IN HOPE!!! (R.H. Dye, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Summer 1996)

On Finite Groups With Two Irreducible Character Degrees

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...
