Let b(G) denote the largest irreducible character degree of a finite group G. In this paper, we prove that if G is a solvable group which does not involve a section isomorphic to the wreath product of two groups of equal prime order p, and if b(G) < pn, then |G:Op(G)|p < pn.

Much information about a finite group is encoded in its character table. Indeed even a small portion of the character table may reveal significant information about the group. By a famous theorem of Jordan, knowing the degree of one faithful irreducible character of a finite group gives an upper bound for the index of its largest normal abelian subgroup.Here we consider b(G), the largest irreducible character degree of the group G. A simple application of Frobenius reciprocity shows that b(G) ≧ |G:A| for any abelian subgroup A of G. In light of this fact and Jordan's theorem, one might seek to bound the index of the largest abelian subgroup of G from above by a function of b(G). If is G is nilpotent, a result of Isaacs and Passman (see [7, Theorem 12.26]) shows that G has an abelian subgroup of index at most b(G)4.

‎Let G be a finite group and cd(G) be the set of irreducible character degree of G‎. ‎In this paper we prove that if  p is a prime number‎, ‎then the simple group PSL(4,p) is uniquely determined by its order and some its character degrees‎.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group and the irreducible character degree set of [Formula: see text] is contained in [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] are distinct integers. We show that one of the following statements holds: [Formula: see text] is solvable; [Formula: see text]; or [Formula: see text] for some prime power [Formula: see text].

AbstractGiven a finite group G, we attach to the character degrees of G a graph whose vertex set is the set of primes dividing the degrees of irreducible characters of G, and with an edge between p and q if pq divides the degree of some irreducible character of G. In this paper, we describe which graphs occur when G is a solvable group of Fitting height 2.

Abstract Let {\operatorname{acd}(G)} and {\operatorname{acs}(G)} denote the average irreducible character degree and the average conjugacy class size, respectively, of a finite group G. The object of this paper is to prove that if \operatorname{acd}(G)<2(p+1)/(p+3) , then G=O_{p}(G)\times O_{{p^{\prime}}}(G) , and that if \operatorname{acs}(G)<4p/(p\kern-1.0pt+\kern-1.0pt3) , then G=O_{p}(G)\kern-1.0pt\times\kern-1.0ptO_{{p^{\prime}}}(G) with {O_{p}(G)} abelian, where p is a prime.

AbstractLet 𝐺 be a finite group. An irreducible character of 𝐺 is called a 𝒫-character if it is an irreducible constituent of (1_{H})^{G} for some maximal subgroup 𝐻 of 𝐺. In this paper, we obtain some conditions for a solvable group 𝐺 to be 𝑝-nilpotent or 𝑝-closed in terms of 𝒫-characters.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite solvable group and [Formula: see text] be a subgroup of [Formula: see text]. Suppose that there exists an [Formula: see text]-invariant Carter subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that the semidirect product [Formula: see text] is a Frobenius group with kernel [Formula: see text] and complement [Formula: see text]. We prove that the terms of the Fitting series of [Formula: see text] are obtained as the intersection of [Formula: see text] with the corresponding terms of the Fitting series of [Formula: see text], and the Fitting height of [Formula: see text] may exceed the Fitting height of [Formula: see text] by at most one. As a corollary it is shown that for any set of primes [Formula: see text], the terms of the [Formula: see text]-series of [Formula: see text] are obtained as the intersection of [Formula: see text] with the corresponding terms of the [Formula: see text]-series of [Formula: see text], and the [Formula: see text]-length of [Formula: see text] may exceed the [Formula: see text]-length of [Formula: see text] by at most one. These theorems generalize the main results in [E. I. Khukhro, Fitting height of a finite group with a Frobenius group of automorphisms, J. Algebra 366 (2012) 1–11] obtained by Khukhro.

In [1] R. Brauer asked the following question: Let be a finite group, p a rational prime number, and B a p-block of with defect d and defect group . Is it true that is abelian if and only if every irreducible character in B has height 0 ? The present results on this problem are quite incomplete. If d-0, 1, 2 the conjecture was proved by Brauer and Feit, [4] Theorem 2. They also showed that if is cyclic, then no characters of positive height appear in B. If is normal in , the conjecture was proved by W. Reynolds and M. Suzuki, [12]. In this paper we shall show that for a solvable group , the conjecture is true for the largest prime divisor p of the order of . Actually, one half of this has already been proved in [7]. There it was shown that if is a p-solvable group, where p is any prime, and if is abelian, then the condition on the irreducible characters in B is satisfied.

We conjecture that the number of irreducible character degrees of a finite group is bounded in terms of the number of prime factors (counting multiplicities) of the largest character degree. We prove that this conjecture holds when the largest character degree is prime and when the character degree graph is disconnected.
