On the multiplicities of the character codegrees of finite groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let G be a finite group and ? be an irreducible character of G, the number cod(?) = jG : Let G be a finite group and chi be an irreducible character of G, the number cod(chi)=|G:kernel(chi)|/chi(1) is called the codegree of chi. Also, cod(G)=cod(chi)|chiinIrr(G). For dincod(G), the multiplicity of d in G, denoted by m'G(d), is the number of irreducible characters of G having codegree d. A finite group G is called a T'k-group for some integer kgeq1, if there exists d0incod(G) such that m'G(d0)=k and for every dincod(G)−d0, we have m'G(d)=1. In this note we characterize finite T'k-groups completely, where kgeq1 is an integer.


Let \(G\) be a finite group and let \(\operatorname{cod}(G)=\{ \operatorname{cod}(\chi) \mid \chi \in \operatorname{Irr}(\chi) \}\) be the set of the codegrees of the irreducible characters of \(G\) where \(\operatorname{cod}(\chi)\) is the integer defined by \(\operatorname{cod}(\chi)=|G: \ker \chi | \cdot \chi(1)^{-1}\). If \(d \in \operatorname{cod}(G)\), then the multiplicity \(m'_{d}(G)\) of \(d\) (in \(G\)) is the number of irreducible characters of \(G\) having codegree \(d\). A finite group \(G\) is called a \(T'_{k}\)-group for some integer \(k \geq 1\), if there exists \(d_{0} \in \mathrm{cod}(G)\) such that \(m'_{G}(d_{0})=k\) and for every \(d \in \operatorname{cod}(G) \setminus \{d_{0} \}\), \(m_{G}'(d)=1\). In the paper under review, the authors characterize finite \(T_{k}'\)-groups completely.
