Abstract
We characterise finite groups such that for an odd prime all the irreducible characters in its principal -block have odd degree. We show that this situation does not occur in non-abelian simple groups of order divisible by unless and the group is . As a consequence we deduce that if or if is not a composition factor of a group , then the condition above is equivalent to having odd order.
