Let $G$ be a finite group. For a prime $p$ and an integer $e \geq 0$, we denote by $\Gamma_{p,e}(G)$ the set of all pairs $(H, \varphi)$, where $H$ is a $p$-subgroup of $G$ of order greater than $p^e$ and $\varphi$ is a complex irreducible…

Let $p$ be a prime such that $p \geq 5$. Let $G$ be a finite $p$-solvable group and let $p^a$ be the largest power of $p$ dividing $\chi(1)$ for an irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$, we show that $|G:F(G)|_p \leq p^{5.5a}$. Let $G$ be a…

Let $p$ be a prime divisor of the order of a finite group $G$. Then $G$ has at least $2 \sqrt{p-1}$ complex irreducible characters of degrees prime to $p$. In case $p$ is a prime with $\sqrt{p-1}$ an integer this bound is sharp for…

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…

Let $G$ be a finite group and \( M \) be a maximal subgroup of \( G \). We call every irreducible constituent \( \chi \) of \( (1_M)^G \) a \( \mathcal{P} \)-character of \( G \) with respect to \( M \). In this paper, we prove that all…

For a finite group $G$ and an irreducible complex character $\chi$ of $G$, the codegree of $\chi$ is defined by $\textrm{cod}(\chi)=|G:\textrm{ker}(\chi)|/\chi(1)$, where $\textrm{ker}(\chi)$ is the kernel of $\chi$. In this paper, we show…

Let $G=1+A$ be a finite pattern group over the finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_q$. We give a natural bijection between coadjoint orbits of $G$ and its equivalent classes of irreducible representations. More precisely, given any $T\in A^t$,…

For a finite group $G$ and complex character $\chi\in\mathrm{Irr}(G)$ that restricts irreducibly to a normal subgroup $N\vartriangleleft G,$ we prove a theorem about Clifford correspondences between the characters of subgroups of $G$ that…

Given a finite group G with an irreducible character \chi \in Irr(G), the codegree of \chi is defined by cod(\chi) = |G :\ker \chi|/\chi(1). The set of non-linear irreducible character codegrees of G is denoted by cod(G|G'). In this note,…

We investigate a beautiful conjecture of T. Wilde on character values and element orders of finite groups. We reduce it to a statement on nearly simple groups that can be checked ``prime by prime". For these groups, we show that a strong…

Given a finite group $G$, we denote by $\psi\,'(G)$ the product of element orders of $G$. Our main result proves that the restriction of $\psi\,'$ to abelian $p$-groups of order $p^n$ is strictly increasing with respect to a natural order…

We define the position of an irreducible complex character of a finite group as an alternative to the degree. We then use this to define three classes of groups: PR-groups, IPR-groups and weak IPR-groups. We show that IPR-groups and weak…
