Groups with a Fixed Character Degree

Group Theory 2024-11-14 v1

Abstract

Let GG be a finite group, and let dd be the degree of an irreducible character of GG such that G=d(d+e)|G|=d(d+e) for some e>1e>1. Consider the case when GG is solvable, dd is square-free, and (d,d+e)=1(d,d+e)=1. We wish to explore an equivalent condition on GG when dcd(G)d\in\text{cd}(G). We show that if dcd(G)d\in\text{cd}(G) then there is a sequence of congruences relating the prime power factors of d+ed+e to the product of prime factors of dd such that the product of the moduli in this sequence of congruences is dd. Moreover, the argument will hold in both directions.
