On lifts of irreducible 2-Brauer characters of solvable groups (Q696146)

The main theorem: Let \(G\) be a finite solvable group, \(F\) an algebraically closed field of characteristic two, \(V\) a simple \(FG\)-module with vertex \(Q\) and Brauer character \(\phi\). Suppose \(G\) has a normal subgroup \(N\) such that \(Q\) is not contained in \(N\) and \(QN/N\) is cyclic. Then (i)~\(G\) has at least \(|QN/N|\) ordinary irreducible characters that equal \(\phi\) on the set \(G_{2'}\) of \(2'\)-elements of \(G\) and (ii) \(G\) has at least two 2-rational characters that equal \(\phi\) on \(G_{2'}\).
