On \({p} \)-parts of character codegrees (Q1983954)

Let \(G\) be a finite group. For an irreducible character \(\chi\) of \(G\), its codegree has been defined by \(\mathrm{cod}(\chi)=|G:\mathrm{ker} \chi|/\chi(1)\). In this paper, for a given prime \(p\), the authors show that \(|G/O_{p'p}(G)|_p\leq p^{c_p(G)}\) where \(c_p(G)=\max \{\log_p (\mathrm{cod}(\chi))_p| \chi\in \mathrm{Irr}(G) \}\) and characterize the finite groups \(G\) with \(c_p(G)\leq 1\).
