Abstract
For a prime , we say that a conjugacy class of a finite group is -vanishing if every irreducible character of of degree divisible by takes value 0 on that conjugacy class. In this paper we completely classify 2-vanishing and 3-vanishing conjugacy classes for the symmetric group and do some work in the classification of -vanishing conjugacy classes of the symmetric group for . This answers a question by Navarro for and and partly answers it for .
