Generalisations of the Tits representation.
Let be a finite group and write for the degree set of the complex irreducible characters of . The group is said to satisfy the two-prime hypothesis if for any distinct degrees , the total number of (not necessarily different) primes of the greatest common divisor is at most . We prove an upper bound on the number of irreducible character degrees of a nonsolvable group that has a composition factor isomorphic to PSL for .
This paper deals with a rationality condition for groups. Let n be a fixed positive integer. Suppose every element g of the finite solvable group is conjugate to its nth power g n. Let p be a prime divisor of the order of the group. We conclude that the multiplicative order of n modulo p is small, or p is small.
We determine the groups with exactly two nonlinear non-faithful irreducible characters whose kernels intersect trivially.
