Zeros of primitive characters of finite groups

Group Theory 2020-06-25 v3

Abstract

We classify finite non-solvable groups with a faithful primitive irreducible complex character that vanishes on a unique conjugacy class. Our results answer a question of Dixon and Rahnamai Barghi and suggest an extension of Burnside's classical theorem on zeros of characters.
