Characterizations of nested GVZ-groups by central series

Group Theory 2019-07-11 v1 Representation Theory

Abstract

Many properties of groups can be defined by the existence of a particular normal series. The classic examples being solvability, supersolvability and nilpotence. Among the nilpotent groups are the so-called nested GVZ-groups --- groups where the centers of the irreducible characters form a chain, and where every irreducible character vanishes off of its center. In this paper, we show that nested GVZ-groups can be characterized by the existence of a certain ascending central series, or by the existence of a certain descending central series.
