Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and let Irr(G)\rm{Irr}(G) be the set of all irreducible complex characters of GG. For a character χIrr(G)\chi \in \rm{Irr}(G), the number cod(χ):=G:kerχ/χ(1)\rm{cod}(\chi):=|G:\rm{ker}\chi|/\chi(1) is called the co-degree of χ\chi. The set of co-degrees of all irreducible characters of GG is denoted by cod(G)\rm{cod}(G). In this paper, we show that for a non-trivial finite group GG, Irr(G)=cod(G)|\rm{Irr}(G)|=|\rm{cod}(G)| if and only if GG is isomorphic to the cyclic group Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 or the symmetric group S3S_3.
