Abstract
Let G be a finite p-group, for some prime p, and be irreducible complex characters of G. It has been proved that if, in addition, are faithful characters, then the product is a multiple of an irreducible or it is the nontrivial linear combination of at least distinct irreducible characters of G. We show that if we do not require the characters to be faithful, then given any integer k>0, we can always find a p-group G and irreducible characters and such that is the nontrivial combination of exactly k distinct irreducible characters. We do this by translating examples of decompositions of restrictions of characters into decompositions of products of characters.
