Finite groups with a given set of character degrees. (Q287498)

In the summary one finds: ``Let \(G\) be a finite group with \(\{1,q,r,qm,q^2m,rqm\}\) as the character degree set, where \(r\) and \(q\) are distinct primes and \(m>1\) is an integer not divisible by \(q\) and \(r\). It is shown that \(G\) is solvable and the derived length of \(G\) equals 3.'' Several papers published earlier in time dealt with complex character degree sets, like \(\{1,p,q,r,pq,pr\}\) where \(p\), \(q\), \(r\) are distinct primes, and \(\{1,p\}\), and \(\{1,q,r\}\), etc.. The rich reference list gives (for instance), a paper by \textit{K. Aziziheris} [Algebr. Represent. Theory 14, No. 5, 949-958 (2011; Zbl 1245.20004)], by \textit{M. L. Lewis} [J. Algebra 206, No. 1, 235-260 (1998; Zbl 0915.20003)] and by \textit{T. Noritzsch} [J. Algebra 175, No. 3, 767-798 (1995; Zbl 0839.20014)]. In order to obtain their results, the authors develop a lot of theory to reach their goals. We kindly refer the interested reader to the details of the contents. Knowledge of cyclotomic polynomials, Lie-group representations, Steinberg characters, do play a rôle as well as the classification of the finite simple groups.
