Primes and The Field of Values of Characters

Abstract

Let pp be a prime. For p=2p=2, the fields of values of the complex irreducible characters of finite groups whose degrees are not divisible by pp have been classified; for odd primes pp, a conjectural classification has been proposed. In this work, we extend this conjecture to characters whose degrees are divisible by arbitrary powers of pp, and we provide some evidence supporting its validity.
