Let $p$ be any prime. Let $P_n$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of the symmetric group $S_n$. Let $\phi$ and $\psi$ be linear characters of $P_n$ and let $N$ be the normaliser of $P_n$ in $S_n$. In this article we show that the inductions of $\phi$…

Let $G$ be a finite group with Sylow $2$-subgroup $P \leqslant G$. Navarro-Tiep-Vallejo have conjectured that the principal $2$-block of $N_G(P)$ contains exactly one irreducible Brauer character if and only if all odd-degree ordinary…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $G$ be a $p$-solvable finite group and $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. We prove that $G$ is $p$-supersolvable if $N_G(P)$ is $p$-supersolvable and if there is a subgroup $H$ of $P$ with $P' \le H \le \Phi(P)$…

Slattery has generalized Brauer's theory of p-blocks of finite groups to pi-blocks of pi-separable groups where pi is a set of primes. In this setting we show that the order of a defect group of a pi-block B is bounded in terms of the…

Let p be a prime. Every finite group G has a normal series each of whose quotients either is p-soluble or is a direct product of nonabelian simple groups of orders divisible by p. The non-p-soluble length of G is defined as the minimal…

It is proven that if a finite group $G$ has a normal subgroup $H$ with $p'$-index (where $p$ is a prime) and $G/H$ is solvable, then for a $p$-subgroup $P$ of $H$, if the Scott $kH$-module with vertex $P$ is Brauer indecomposable, then so…

Let $G = {\rm U}(2m, {\mathbb F}_{q^2})$ be the finite unitary group, with $q$ the power of an odd prime $p$. We prove that the number of irreducible complex characters of $G$ with degree not divisible by $p$ and with Frobenius-Schur…

Let $G_2(q)$ be the Chevalley group of type $G_2$ defined over a finite field with q=p^n elements, where p is a prime number and $n$ is a positive integer. In this paper, we determine when the restriction of an absolutely irreducible…

Let G be a finite p-group, for some prime p, and $\psi, \theta \in \Irr(G)$ be irreducible complex characters of G. It has been proved that if, in addition, $\psi,\theta$ are faithful characters, then the product $\psi\theta$ is a multiple…

We prove that the number of irreducible ordinary characters in the principal $p$-block of a finite group $G$ of order divisible by $p$ is always at least $2\sqrt{p-1}$. This confirms a conjecture of H\'{e}thelyi and K\"{u}lshammer for…

Let $\bbk$ be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p$. If $p$ does not divide $n$, irreducible modules over $\frak {sl}_n$ for regular and subregular nilpotent representations have already known(see \cite{Jan2} and…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $p$ a prime and $B$ a Brauer $p$-block of $G$ with defect group $D$. We prove that if the number of irreducible ordinary characters in $B$ is $5$ then $D\cong C_5, C_7, D_8$ or $Q_8$, assuming that the…

Let $G$ be a finite group of odd order. We show that if $\chi$ is an irreducible primitive character of $G$ then for all primes $p$ dividing the order of $G$ there is a conjugacy class such that the $p-$part of $\chi(1)$ divides the size of…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$, $G$ be a finite abelian group, where $p$ does not divide $|G|$,and let $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper we find a formula for the number of irreducible representations of $G$ of a given dimension…

Let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite $p$-solvable group $G$, where $p$ is a prime. Using a normal $p$-series $\mathcal{N}$ of $G$, we introduce the notion of $(\mathcal{N},p)$-stable characters and prove that $G$ and ${\bf N}_G(P)$…

We develop in this work a method to parametrize the set $\mathrm{Irr}(U)$ of irreducible characters of a Sylow $p$-subgroup $U$ of a finite Chevalley group $G(p^f)$ which is valid for arbitrary primes $p$, in particular when $p$ is a very…

Let $B$ be a $p$-block of a finite group, and set $m=$ $\sum \chi(1)^2$, the sum taken over all height zero characters of $B$. Motivated by a result of M. Isaacs characterising $p$-nilpotent finite groups in terms of character degrees, we…

Let G be a primitive permutation group on a finite set Omega. Let p^2 divide |G|, for a prime p. We show that when G is solvable, there exists a subset of Omega whose stabilizer S has the property that 1<|S|_p<|G|_p. We offer a counting…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $p$ a prime and $P$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. In this note we give a cohomological criterion for the $p$-solvability of $G$ depending on the cohomology in degree $1$ with coefficients in $\mathbb F_p$ of both…
