Vanishing classes for $p$-singular characters of symmetric groups

Representation Theory 2015-12-15 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We call an irreducible character pp-singular if pp divides its degree. We prove a number of equivalent conditions for a character of the symmetric group SnS_n to be pp-singular, involving a certain family of conjugacy classes. This answers in part a question by Navarro.
