On characters in the principal 2-block
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Abstract
Let k be a complex number and let u be an element of a finite group G. Suppose that u does not belong to O(G), the maximal normal subgroup of G of odd order. It is shown that G satisfies X(1) – X(u) = k for every complex nonprincipal irreducible character X in the principal 2-block of G if and only if G/O(G) is isomorphic either to C2, a cyclic group of order 2, or to PSL (2, 2n), n ≧ 2.
