We shall consider finite groups of order of g which satisfy the following condition:

(*) There exists a prime p dividing g such that if P ≠ 1 is an element of p-Sylow group ofthen the centralizer(P) of P incoincides with the centralizer() of in.

This assumption is satisfied for a number of important classes of groups. It also plays a role in discussing finite collineation groups in a given number of dimensions.

Of course (*) implies that is abelian. It is possible to obtain rather detailed information about the irreducible characters of groups in this class (§ 4).
