Extract

Let G be a finite group and let Irr(G) denote the set of complex irreducible characters of G. Various authors have investigated the question of how information about the degrees of the characters in Irr (G) can provide information about the structure of G. Chapter 12 of [2] gives a survey of a number of results arising from such questions. Two well-known examples of theorems that relate character degrees and group structure are those due to Thompson (12·2 in [2]) and Itô (12.34 in [2]), which we recall here.
