Some conditions which almost characterize Frobenius groups. (Q1108374)

Let \(G\) be a finite group with proper normal subgroup \(H\), and let \(\{\chi_ 1,\dots,\chi_ n\}\) be the irreducible characters of \(G\) not containing \(H\) in their kernel. Theorem 1: The following conditions are equivalent: (i) For each \(g\in G\setminus H\), \(gH\) is contained in a conjugacy class of \(G\); (ii) Each \(\chi_ i\) vanishes on \(G\setminus H\) and there exist positive integers \(\alpha_ 1,\dots,\alpha_ n\) such that \(\sum\alpha_ i\chi_ i\) is constant on \(H^{\#}\). Theorem 2: Suppose that the pair \((G,H)\) satisfies one (hence both) of the conditions in Theorem 1. Then one of the following holds: (a) \(G\) is a Frobenius group with kernel \(H\); (b) \(H\) is a \(p\)-group for some prime \(p\); or (c) \(G/H\) is a \(p\)-group for some prime \(p\).
