Abstract If G is a p-solvable finite group, P is a self-normalizing Sylow p-subgroup of G with derived subgroup P ′ , and Ψ is the sum of all the irreducible characters of G of degree not divisible by p, then we prove that the integer Ψ ( P ′ z P ′ ) is divisible by | P | for all z ∈ G . This answers a question of J. Alperin.
