The McKay conjecture with group automorphisms and the Okuyama-Wajima argument
Abstract
Let be normal subgroup of a finite group , be a prime, be a Sylow -subgroup of and be a -invariant irreducible character of . Suppose that is a -solvable group. In this note we show that, whenever a finite group acts on stabilizing , there exists an -equivariant McKay bijection between irreducible characters lying over of degree prime to of and . This is a consequence of a recent result of D. Rossi. Our approach here is independent from Rossi's and follows the original idea of the proof of the McKay conjecture for -solvable groups. In particular, we rely on the so-called Okuyama-Wajima argument to deal with characters above Glauberman correspondents. For this purpose, we generalize a classical result of P. X. Gallagher on the number of irreducible characters of lying over .
