A McKay bijection for projectors (Q2135427)

Summary: If \(\mathfrak{F}\) is a saturated formation of groups, we define a canonical subset \(\text{Irr}_{\mathfrak{F}^\prime}(G)\) of the irreducible complex characters of a finite solvable group \(G\). If \(H\) is an \(\mathfrak{F}\)-projector of \(G\), we show that \(|\text{Irr}_{\mathfrak{F}^\prime}(G)|=|\text{Irr}(\mathbf{N}_G(H)/H^\prime)|\), where \(H^\prime=[H,H]\) is the derived subgroup of \(H\). In particular, if \(\mathfrak{F}\) is the class of \(p\)-groups, this reproves the solvable case of the celebrated McKay conjecture.
