Rationality and normal 2-complements
2008
Abstract We study the finite groups in which every irreducible rational valued character is linear, and those in which every rational element is central.
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…
Degrees of rational characters of finite groups
2010
Abstract A classical theorem of John Thompson on character degrees states that if the degree of any complex irreducible character of a finite group G is 1 or divisible by a prime p, then G has a normal p-complement. In this paper, we consider fields of values of characters and prove some improvements of this result.
Characterization of rhenium oxide films and their application to liquid crystal cells
2009
Rhenium trioxide exhibits high electronic conductivity, while its open cubic crystal structure allows an appreciable hydrogen intercalation, generating disordered solid phases, with protonic conductivity. Rhenium oxide thin films have been obtained by thermal evaporation of ReO3 powders on different substrates, maintained at different temperatures, and also by reactive magnetron sputtering of a Re metallic target. A comparative investigation has been carried out on these films, by using micro-Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. Two basic types of solid phases appear to grow in the films: a red metallic HxReO3 compound, with distorted perovskite structures, like in the bulk material, a…
