P-characters and the structure of finite solvable groups

Let \(G\) be a finite group. An irreducible character \(\chi\) of \(G\) is called a \(\mathscr{P}\)-character if it is an irreducible constituent of \(1_H^G\) for some maximal subgroup \(H\) of \(G\); if in addtion \(|G:H|\) is a \(p\)-power for a prime \(p\), then \(\chi\) is called a \(\mathscr{P}_p\)-character. The paper studies some conditions on \(\mathscr{P}\)-characters that are sufficient for the group to be \(p\)-nilpotent or \(p\)-closed. For example, \(G\) is \(p\)-nilpotent if and only if, for every nonlinear \(\mathscr{P}_p\)-character of \(G\) of \(p'\)-degree, \(G/\ker(\chi\)) is \(p\)-nilpotent. Also, if \(G\) is \(p\)-solvable and \(p\) does not divide the codegree of any \(\mathscr{P}\)-character of \(G\), then \(G\) is \(p\)-nilpotent.
