Abstract
Let be a finite group and let denote the set of irreducible complex characters of . For a normal subgroup and , we say that is \emph{fully ramified} over if for all . A group is said to be of \emph{central type} if there exists that is fully ramified over . Motivated by this notion, an irreducible character is called of \emph{central type} if vanishes on , where is the center of . Groups in which every irreducible character is of central type are called \emph{GVZ-groups}. Furthermore, a group is said to be \emph{nested} if for all , either or . It is known that a GVZ-group is nilpotent. In this article, we classify all GVZ and nested GVZ -groups of order at most , where is an odd prime.
