Abstract

Let pp and qq be different primes and let GG be a finite qq-solvable group. We prove that Irrp(G)Irrq(G)\mathrm{Irr}_{p'}(G)\subseteq \mathrm{Irr}_{q'}(G) if and only if NG(P)NG(Q)\mathbf{N}_G(P)\subseteq \mathbf{N}_G(Q) and CQ(P)=1\mathbf{C}_{Q'}(P)=1 for some PSylp(G)P\in\mathrm{Syl}_p(G) and QSylq(G)Q\in\mathrm{Syl}_q(G). Further, if BB is a qq-block of GG and pp does not divide the degree of any character in Irr(B)\mathrm{Irr}(B) then we prove that a Sylow pp-subgroup of GG is normalized by a defect group of BB. This removes the pp-solvability condition of two theorems of G. Navarro and T. R. Wolf.
