On the orders of vanishing elements of finite groups
Abstract
Let be a finite group and be a prime. Let denote the set of the orders of vanishing elements, be the subset of consisting of those orders of vanishing elements divisible by and be the subset of consisting of those orders of vanishing elements not divisible by . Dolfi, Pacifi, Sanus and Spiga proved that if is not a -power for all , then has a normal Sylow -subgroup. In another article, the same authors also show that if if , then has a normal nilpotent -complement. These results are variations of the well known Ito-Michler and Thompson theorems. In this article we study solvable groups such that and show that is subnormal. This is analogous to the work of Isaacs, Mor\'eto, Navarro and Tiep where they considered groups with just one character degree divisible by . We also study certain finite groups such that and we prove that has a normal subgroup such that a normal -complement and has a normal -complement. This is analogous to the recent work of Giannelli, Rizo and Schaeffer Fry on character degrees with a few -character degrees. Bubboloni, Dolfi and Spiga studied finite groups such that every vanishing element is of order for some integer . As a generalization, we investigate groups such that for some integer , for all . We also study finite solvable groups whose irreducible characters vanish only on elements of prime power order.
