Rationality and Sylow 2-subgroups

2010

AbstractLet G be a finite group. If G has a cyclic Sylow 2-subgroup, then G has the same number of irreducible rational-valued characters as of rational conjugacy classes. These numbers need not be the same even if G has Klein Sylow 2-subgroups and a normal 2-complement.

Correspondences of Brauer characters and Sylow subgroup normalizers

2021

Abstract Let p > 3 and q ≠ p be primes, let G be a finite q-solvable group and let P ∈ Syl p ( G ) . Then G has a unique irreducible q-Brauer character of p ′ -degree lying over 1 P if and only if N G ( P ) / P is a q-group. One direction of this result follows from a natural McKay bijection of p ′ -degree irreducible q-Brauer characters, which is obtained under suitable conditions.

p-Length andp′-Degree Irreducible Characters Having Values in ℚp

2013

Let G be a p-solvable group of p-length l, where p is any prime. We show that G has at least 2 l irreducible characters of degree coprime to p and having values inside ℚ p . This generalizes a previous result for p = 2 [6] to arbitrary primes. With the same notation, we prove that if p is odd then G has at least 2 l Galois orbits of conjugacy classes of p-elements having values in ℚ p .

Quadratic rational solvable groups

2012

Abstract A finite group G is quadratic rational if all its irreducible characters are either rational or quadratic. If G is a quadratic rational solvable group, we show that the prime divisors of | G | lie in { 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 13 } , and no prime can be removed from this list. More generally, if G is solvable and the field Q ( χ ) generated by the values of χ over Q satisfies | Q ( χ ) : Q | ⩽ k , for all χ ∈ Irr ( G ) , then the set of prime divisors of | G | is bounded in terms of k . Also, we prove that the degree of the field generated by the values of all characters of a semi-rational solvable group (see Chillag and Dolfi, 2010 [1] ) or a quadratic rational solvable group over Q is bou…

Finite 2-groups with odd number of conjugacy classes

2016

In this paper we consider finite 2-groups with odd number of real conjugacy classes. On one hand we show that if $k$ is an odd natural number less than 24, then there are only finitely many finite 2-groups with exactly $k$ real conjugacy classes. On the other hand we construct infinitely many finite 2-groups with exactly 25 real conjugacy classes. Both resuls are proven using pro-$p$ techniques and, in particular, we use the Kneser classification of semi-simple $p$-adic algebraic groups.

2-Groups with few rational conjugacy classes

2011

Abstract In this paper we prove the following conjecture of G. Navarro: if G is a finite 2-group with exactly 5 rational conjugacy classes, then G is dihedral, semidihedral or generalized quaternion. We also characterize the 2-groups with 4 rational classes.

Irreducible characters of $3'$-degree of finite symmetric, general linear and unitary groups

2018

Abstract Let G be a finite symmetric, general linear, or general unitary group defined over a field of characteristic coprime to 3. We construct a canonical correspondence between irreducible characters of degree coprime to 3 of G and those of N G ( P ) , where P is a Sylow 3-subgroup of G . Since our bijections commute with the action of the absolute Galois group over the rationals, we conclude that fields of values of character correspondents are the same.
