Abstract

Let GG be a finite nilpotent group, χ\chi and ψ\psi be irreducible complex characters of GG of prime degree. Assume that χ(1)=p\chi(1)=p. Then either the product χψ\chi\psi is a multiple of an irreducible character or χψ\chi\psi is the linear combination of at least p+12\frac{p+1}{2} distinct irreducible characters.
