It is known that a finite group with an automorphism $\varphi$ of coprime order has a soluble radical of $(|\varphi|,|C_G(\varphi)|)$-bounded Fitting height and index. We extend this classic result as follows. Let $f(x) = a_0 + a_1 \cdot x…

A finite group $G$ is $normally ~monomial$ if all its irreducible characters are induced from linear characters of normal subgroups of $G$. In this paper, we determine all possible irreducible character degree sets of normally monomial…

In this note, we prove that if $G$ is solvable and ${\rm cod}(\chi)$ is a $p$-power for every nonlinear, monomial, monolithic $\chi\in {\rm Irr}(G)$ or every nonlinear, monomial, monolithic $\chi \in {\rm IBr} (G)$, then $P$ is normal in…

Let $G$ be a finite group and ${\rm cd}(G)$ denote the set of complex irreducible character degrees of $G$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is an almost simple group with socle $H_{0}= \, ^{2}{\rm G}_{2}(q)$,…

If a group $G$ is $\pi$-separable, where $\pi$ is a set of primes, the set of irreducible characters $\operatorname{B}_{\pi}(G) \cup \operatorname{B}_{\pi'}(G)$ can be defined. In this paper, we prove that there are variants of some…

We consider problems concerning the largest degrees of irreducible characters of symmetric groups, and the multiplicities of character degrees of symmetric groups. Using evidence from computer experiments, we posit several new conjectures…

we obtain a necessary condition for the character degree graph with all of its vertices are odd degree of a finite solvable group G.

We construct solvable groups where the only degree of an irreducible character that is a prime power is $1$ and that have arbitrarily large Fitting heights. We will show that we can construct such groups that also have a Sylow tower. We…

The Fong-Swan theorem shows that for a $p$-solvable group $G$ and Brauer character $\phi \in \ibrg$, there is an ordinary character $\chi \in \irrg$ such that $\chi^0 = \phi$, where $^0$ denotes restriction to the $p$-regular elements of…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is a nilpotent subgroup of $G$. If a character of $H$ induces an irreducible character of $G$, then the generalized Fitting subgroup of $G$ is nilpotent.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $V$ be a finite $G$--module. We present upper bounds for the cardinalities of certain subsets of $\Irr(GV)$, such as the set of those $\chi\in\Irr(GV)$ such that, for a fixed $v\in V$, the restriction of $\chi$…

For a finite group $G$ and its maximal subgroup $M$ we proved that the generalized Fitting height of $M$ can't be less by 2 than the generalized Fitting height of $G$ and the non-$p$-soluble length of $M$ can't be less by 1 than the…

We investigate the finite groups $G$ for which $\chi(1)^{2}=|G:Z(\chi)|$ for all characters $\chi \in Irr(G)$ and $|cd(G)|=2$. We obtain some alternate characterizations of these groups and we obtain some information regarding the structure…

It is proved that if a finite $p$-soluble group $G$ admits an automorphism $\varphi$ of order $p^n$ having at most $m$ fixed points on every $\varphi$-invariant elementary abelian $p'$-section of $G$, then the $p$-length of $G$ is bounded…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ be a prime number dividing the order of $G$. An irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$ is called a quasi $p$-Steinberg character if $\chi(g)$ is nonzero for every $p$-regular element $g$ in $G$. In this paper,…

In this paper, we answer affirmatively a question of H S Sim on representations in characteristic $0$, for a class of metabelian groups. Moreover, we provide examples to point out that the analogous answer is no longer valid if the solvable…
