Abstract

I. M. Isaacs has conjectured (see \cite{isa00}) that if the product of two faithful irreducible characters of a solvable group is irreducible, then the group is cyclic. In this paper we prove a special case of the following conjecture, which generalizes Isaacs conjecture. Suppose that GG is solvable and that ψ,ϕ\Irr(G)\psi,\phi\in\Irr(G) are faithful. If ψϕ=mχ\psi \phi=m\chi where mm is a positive integer and χ\Irr(G)\chi \in \Irr(G) then ψ\psi and ϕ\phi vanish on GZ(G)G- Z(G). In particular we prove that the above conjecture holds for pp-groups.
