Abstract
Let be a -group and let be an irreducible character of . The codegree of is given by . Du and Lewis have shown that a -group with exactly three codegrees has nilpotence class at most 2. Here we investigate -groups with exactly four codegrees. If, in addition to having exactly four codegrees, has two irreducible character degrees, has largest irreducible character degree , , or has coclass at most 3, then has nilpotence class at most 4. In the case of coclass at most 3, the order of is bounded by . With an additional hypothesis we can extend this result to -groups with four codegrees and coclass at most 7. In this case the order of is bounded by .
