Review text

An irreducible character \(\chi \in \mathrm{Irr}(G)\) of a finite group \(G\) is said to be rational if \(\chi(g)\in \mathbb{Q}\) for each \(g \in G\). On the other hand, an element \(g \in G\) is rational if it is \(G\)-conjugate to every generator of the cyclic group \(\langle g \rangle\). It is known that all the irreducible characters of a group \(G\) are rational if and only if all the elements of \(G\) are rational.\N\NIn the paper under review, the author proves this nice result: if every rational irreducible characters of a finite group \(G\) has odd degree, then all rational elements are \(2\)-elements. This theorem provides an affirmative answer to a conjecture proposed in [\textit{P. H. Tiep} and \textit{H. P. Tong-Viet}, Acta Math. Vietnam. 47, No. 1, 293--304 (2022; Zbl 1510.20014)].
