Review text

An element \( g\) of a finite group \(G\) is called vanishing if \( \chi(g) = 0\) for some complex irreducible character \(\chi\) of \( G\). Let \( P_v(G) \) be the proportion of vanishing elements of \(G\). In the paper under review, the finite groups \( G \) with \( P_v(G) < 1067/1260 = P_v(A_7) \) are classified. From previous work, it is known that a group \(G\) with \( P_v(G) < P_v(A_7)\) is solvable [\textit{A. Moretó} and \textit{P. H. Tiep}, Isr. J. Math. 254, No. 1, 229--242 (2023; Zbl 1515.20054)] and that then \(P_v(G) = (m-1)/m\) for some integer \( 1\leq m \leq 6\) [\textit{Y. Zeng} et al., J. Algebra 614, 825--847 (2023; Zbl 1520.20019)].
