Vanishing-off subgroups and supercharacter theory products

Abstract

In this paper, we study the vanishing-off subgroups of supercharacters, and use these to determine several new characterizations of supercharacter theory products. In particular, we give a character theoretic characterization that allows us to conclude that one may determine if a supercharacter theory is a Δ\Delta-product or \ast-product from the values of its corresponding supercharacters.
