Abstract

G. Navarro has conjectured a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite group GG to have a self-normalizing Sylow 2-subgroup, which is given in terms of the ordinary irreducible characters of GG. In a previous article, the author has reduced the proof of this conjecture to showing that certain related statements hold for simple groups. In this article, we describe the action of Galois automorphisms on the Howlett-Lehrer parametrization of Harish-Chandra induced characters. We use this to complete the proof of the conjecture by showing that the remaining simple groups satisfy the required conditions.
