McKay's conjecture for characters of pp'-degree

For a finite group GG and a prime pp, let

Irrp(G):={χIrr(G)p does not divide χ(1)}\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(G):=\{\chi\in\operatorname{Irr}(G)\mid p\text{ does not divide }\chi(1)\}

be the set of irreducible complex characters of GG of degree prime to pp. Let PP be a Sylow pp-subgroup of GG, and let NG(P)\operatorname{N}_G(P) be its normaliser. McKay's conjecture.

Irrp(G)=Irrp(NG(P)).|\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(G)|=|\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(\operatorname{N}_G(P))|.

The conjecture asserts that fundamental information about the representation theory of GG is encoded in its Sylow normalisers. It was originally formulated for simple groups at p=2p=2; it is known for groups of odd order and in several important families, but remains open in general.
