Solvable groups, all of whose irreducible representations in characteristic p have prime degrees (Q1084175): Difference between revisions

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>0\). The following is proved. A. Theorem. Let G be a p-solvable finite group with \(O_ p(G)=1\) such that the set of the degrees of the irreducible representations of G over K contains only 1 and some prime numbers. Then the degrees of all irreducible representations of G over \({\mathbb{C}}\) are 1 or prime numbers (the finite groups G for which the degrees of all irreducible representations of G over \({\mathbb{C}}\) are 1 or prime numbers, have been classified by \textit{I. M. Isaacs} and \textit{D. S. Passman} [Pac. J. Math. 24, 467-510 (1968; Zbl 0155.05502)]), or char K\(=p=3\), G'\(\cong SL(2,3)\) and \(| G/G'Z(G)| =2\). Conversely, if G'\(\cong SL(2,3)\) and \(| G/G'Z(G)| =2\), then the degrees of the irreducible representations of G over K (char K\(=3)\) are 1,2,3, the degrees of the irreducible representations of G over \({\mathbb{C}}\) are 1,2,3,4 (Example: GL(2,3)). B. Theorem. Suppose G is p-solvable and \(O_ p(G)=1\). If the set of the degrees of the irreducible representations of G over K consists only of 1 and p, then \(O_{p'}(G)\) is abelian, \(p^ 2\nmid | G|\) and either (1) G is p-nilpotent and the set of the degrees of the irreducible representations of G over \({\mathbb{C}}\) consists only of 1 and p, or (2) \(| G/O_{p',p}(G)| =r\) is a prime dividing p-1 and 1,r, and p constitute the set of the degrees of the irreducible representations of G over \({\mathbb{C}}\). There exists a prime q, with \(q| | G|\) and a multiple n of r such that \(p=(q^ n-1)/(q^{n/r}-1)\).
