A note on character degrees of finite solvable groups

From MaRDI portal





The character degree graph \(\Delta(G)\) is defined as follows: The vertices are the primes \(p\) which divide \(\chi(1)\) for some \(\chi\in\text{Irr}_\mathbb{C}(G)\). Two vertices \(p\) and \(q\) are joined by an edge if there exists a \(\chi\in\text{Irr}_\mathbb{C}(G)\) with \(pq\mid\chi(1)\). Let \(n(\Delta(G))\) denote the number of connected components of \(\Delta(G)\). For an arbitrary finite group \(G\) we have \(n(\Delta(G))\leq 3\) [\textit{O. Manz}, \textit{R. Staszewski} and \textit{W. Willems}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 103, No. 1, 31-37 (1988; Zbl 0645.20005)] and \(n(\Delta(G))\leq 2\) if \(G\) is solvable [\textit{O. Manz}, Commun. Algebra 13, 2421-2431 (1985; Zbl 0575.20007)]. In the paper under review the author determines to a certain extent the structure of those solvable groups \(G\) for which \(n(\Delta(G))=2\).
