AbstractLet G be a finite solvable group. Fix a prime integer p and let t be the number of distinct degrees of irreducible Brauer characters of G with respect to the prime p. We obtain the bound 3t — 2 for the derived length of a Hall p'-subgroup of G. Furthermore, if |G| is odd, then the derived length of a Hall p'-subgroup of G is bounded by /.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ a prime. We say that a $p$-regular element $g$ of $G$ is $p$-nonvanishing if no irreducible $p$-Brauer character of $G$ takes the value $0$ on $g$. The main result of this paper shows that if $G$ is solvable and $g\in G$ is a $p$-regular element which is $p$-nonvanishing, then $g$ lies in a normal subgroup of $G$ whose $p$-length and $p^{\prime }$-length are both at most 2 (with possible exceptions for $p\leq 7$), the bound being best possible. This result is obtained through the analysis of one particular orbit condition in linear actions of solvable groups on finite vector spaces, and it generalizes (for $p>7$) some results in Dolfi and Pacifici [‘Zeros of Brauer characters and linear actions of finite groups’, J. Algebra 340 (2011), 104–113].

Let π be a set of primes and let G be a π-separable group (all groups considered are finite). Two subsets Xπ(G) and Bπ(G) of the set Irr(G) of irreducible characters of G play an important role in the character theory of π-separable groups and particularly solvable groups. If p is prime and π is the set of all other primes, then the Bπ characters of G give a natural one-to-one lift of the Brauer characters of G into Irr(G). More generally, they have been used to define Brauer characters for sets of primes.The π-special characters of G (i.e., Xπ(G)) restrict irreducibly and in a one-to-one fashion to a Hall-π-subgroup of G. If an irreducible character χ is quasi-primitive, it factors uniquely as a product of a π-special character an a π′-special character. This is a particularly useful tool in solvable groups.
