On a question of the character codegrees set

From MaRDI portal





For a finite group \(G\) and \(\chi \in \mathrm{Irr}(G)\), the paper considers the codegree \(\mathrm{cod}(\chi)= \big |G:\ker(\chi) \big|/\chi(1)\) and the set \(\mathrm{cod}(G)=\big \{\mathrm{cod}(\chi) \; \big | \; \chi\in \mathrm{Irr}(G) \big\}\). It answers the open question of determining the finite groups such that \(|\pi(d)|=2\) for every \(1\neq d\in \mathrm{cod}(G)\), proving that this happens exactly for \(G\cong \mathrm{PSL}_2(q)\) with \(q\in \big \{5,7,8,9,17 \big\}\).\N\NThe proof reduces the problem to finite lists of irreducible \(\mathbb{F}_p\)-modules for \(\mathrm{PSL}_2(q)\) with \(q\in \big \{5,7,8,9,17 \big \}\). The remaining exceptional cases are then excluded by a combination of character-theoretic arguments and explicit GAP computations.
