Characters and Sylow 2-subgroups of maximal class revisited
2018
Abstract We give two ways to distinguish from the character table of a finite group G if a Sylow 2-subgroup of G has maximal class. We also characterize finite groups with Sylow 3-subgroups of order 3 in terms of their principal 3-block.
A submatrix of the character table
2000
Let G be a finite group and let p be a prime number. We consider the Submatrix of the character table of G whose rows are indexed by the characters in blocks of maximal defect, and whose columns are indexed by the conjugacy classes of P′-size. We prove that this matrix has maximum rank.
Rational irreducible characters and rational conjugacy classes in finite groups
2007
We prove that a finite group G G has two rational-valued irreducible characters if and only if it has two rational conjugacy classes, and determine the structure of any such group. Along the way we also prove a conjecture of Gow stating that any finite group of even order has a non-trivial rational-valued irreducible character of odd degree.
Character Tables and Sylow Subgroups Revisited
2018
Suppose that G is a finite group. A classical and difficult problem is to determine how much the character table knows about the local structure of G and vice versa.
A Brauer-Wielandt formula (with an application to character tables)
2016
If a p p -group P P acts coprimely on a finite group G G , we give a Brauer-Wielandt formula to count the number of fixed points | C G ( P ) | | \textbf {C}_{G}(P) | of P P in G G . This serves to determine the number of Sylow p p -subgroups of certain finite groups from their character tables.
Groups with few $p'$-character degrees
2019
Abstract We prove a variation of Thompson's Theorem. Namely, if the first column of the character table of a finite group G contains only two distinct values not divisible by a given prime number p > 3 , then O p p ′ p p ′ ( G ) = 1 . This is done by using the classification of finite simple groups.
Quadratic characters in groups of odd order
2009
Abstract We prove that in a finite group of odd order, the number of irreducible quadratic characters is the number of quadratic conjugacy classes.
Finite groups with real-valued irreducible characters of prime degree
2008
Abstract In this paper we describe the structure of finite groups whose real-valued nonlinear irreducible characters have all prime degree. The more general situation in which the real-valued irreducible characters of a finite group have all squarefree degree is also considered.
Fusion in the character table
1998
Suppose that P P is a Sylow p p -subgroup of a finite p p -solvable group G G . If g ∈ P g \in P , then the number of G G -conjugates of g g in P P can be read off from the character table of G G .
Sylow subgroups, exponents, and character values
2019
If G G is a finite group, p p is a prime, and P P is a Sylow p p -subgroup of G G , we study how the exponent of the abelian group P / P ′ P/P’ is affected and how it affects the values of the complex characters of G G . This is related to Brauer’s Problem 12 12 . Exactly how this is done is one of the last unsolved consequences of the McKay–Galois conjecture.
