An answer to a question of Isaacs on character degree graphs

2006

Abstract Let N be a normal subgroup of a finite group G. We consider the graph Γ ( G | N ) whose vertices are the prime divisors of the degrees of the irreducible characters of G whose kernel does not contain N and two vertices are joined by an edge if the product of the two primes divides the degree of some of the characters of G whose kernel does not contain N. We prove that if Γ ( G | N ) is disconnected then G / N is solvable. This proves a strong form of a conjecture of Isaacs.

An answer to two questions of Brewster and Yeh on M-groups

2003

Let χ be a (complex) irreducible character of a finite group. Recall that χ is monomial if there exists a linear character λ ∈ Irr(H), where H is some subgroup of G, such that χ = λG. A group is an M -group if all its irreducible characters are monomial. In 1992, B. Brewster and G. Yeh [1] raised the following two questions. Question A. Let M and N be normal subgroups of a group G. Assume that (|G : M |, |G : N |) = 1 and that M and N are M -groups. Does this imply that G is an M -group? ∗Research supported by the Basque Government, the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnoloǵia and the University of the Basque Country

Some Characterisations of Soluble SST-Groups

2016

All groups considered in this paper are finite. A subgroup H of a group G is said to be SS-permutable or SS-quasinormal in G if H has a supplement K in G such that H permutes with every Sylow subgroup of K. Following [6], we call a group G an SST-group provided that SS-permutability is a transitive relation in G, that is, if A is an SS-permutable subgroup of B and B is an SS-permutable subgroup of G, then A is an SS-permutable subgroup of G. The main aim of this paper is to present several characterisations of soluble SST-groups.

Characters of relative p'-degree over normal subgroups

2013

Let Z be a normal subgroup of a finite group G , let ??Irr(Z) be an irreducible complex character of Z , and let p be a prime number. If p does not divide the integers ?(1)/?(1) for all ??Irr(G) lying over ? , then we prove that the Sylow p -subgroups of G/Z are abelian. This theorem, which generalizes the Gluck-Wolf Theorem to arbitrary finite groups, is one of the principal obstacles to proving the celebrated Brauer Height Zero Conjecture

On fully ramified Brauer characters

2014

Let Z be a normal subgroup of a finite group, let p≠5 be a prime and let λ∈IBr(Z) be an irreducible G-invariant p-Brauer character of Z. Suppose that λG=eφ for some φ∈IBr(G). Then G/Z is solvable. In other words, a twisted group algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not 5 with a unique class of simple modules comes from a solvable group.

p-Blocks relative to a character of a normal subgroup

2018

Abstract Let G be a finite group, let N ◃ G , and let θ ∈ Irr ( N ) be a G-invariant character. We fix a prime p, and we introduce a canonical partition of Irr ( G | θ ) relative to p. We call each member B θ of this partition a θ-block, and to each θ-block B θ we naturally associate a conjugacy class of p-subgroups of G / N , which we call the θ-defect groups of B θ . If N is trivial, then the θ-blocks are the Brauer p-blocks. Using θ-blocks, we can unify the Gluck–Wolf–Navarro–Tiep theorem and Brauer's Height Zero conjecture in a single statement, which, after work of B. Sambale, turns out to be equivalent to the Height Zero conjecture. We also prove that the k ( B ) -conjecture is true i…

On the product of a π-group and a π-decomposable group

2007

[EN] The main result in the paper states the following: Let π be a set of odd primes. Let the finite group G=AB be the product of a π -decomposable subgroup A=Oπ(A)×Oπ′(A) and a π -subgroup B . Then Oπ(A)⩽Oπ(G); equivalently the group G possesses Hall π -subgroups. In this case Oπ(A)B is a Hall π-subgroup of G. This result extends previous results of Berkovich (1966), Rowley (1977), Arad and Chillag (1981) and Kazarin (1980) where stronger hypotheses on the factors A and B of the group G were being considered. The results under consideration in the paper provide in particular criteria for the existence of non-trivial soluble normal subgroups for a factorized group G.

On finite groups generated by strongly cosubnormal subgroups

2003

[EN] Two subgroups A and B of a group G are cosubnormal if A and B are subnormal in their join and are strongly cosubnormal if every subgroup of A is cosubnormal with every subgroup of B. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for A and B to be strongly cosubnormal in and, if Z is the hypercentre of G=, we show that A and B are strongly cosubnormal if and only if G/Z is the direct product of AZ/Z and BZ/Z. We also show that projectors and residuals for certain formations can easily be constructed in such a group. Two subgroups A and B of a group G are N-connected if every cyclic subgroup of A is cosubnormal with every cyclic subgroup of B (N denotes the class of nilpotent groups). Thou…
