Solvable groups with \(p\)-modular character degrees of prime power (Q1173871): Difference between revisions

O. Manz considered solvable groups whose ordinary character degrees are all prime powers. He showed that the nilpotent length is bounded by \(n(G) \leq 4\) and if two primes occur in the set of character degrees, the derived length is bounded by \(dl(G) \leq 5\). In this paper we consider solvable groups whose \(p\)-modular character degrees are prime powers. It turns out that we can bound the nilpotent length of \(G/O_ p(G)\) by \(n(G/O_ p(G)) \leq 4\) too. But it is impossible to bound the derived length.
