Divisibility refinement for p-solvable groups

Let pp be a prime, let GG be a pp-solvable finite group, and let PP be a Sylow pp-subgroup of GG. Let NG(P)\operatorname{N}_{G}(P) be the normalizer of PP, and let Irrp(G)\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(G) denote the irreducible characters of GG whose degrees are not divisible by pp. Divisibility refinement. There exists a bijection

f:Irrp(G)Irrp(NG(P))f:\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(G)\longrightarrow \operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(\operatorname{N}_{G}(P))

such that

f(χ)(1)χ(1)for all χIrr(G).f(\chi)(1)\mid\chi(1)\quad\text{for all }\chi\in\operatorname{Irr}(G).

This strengthens the numerical McKay assertion by requiring a degree-divisibility property for the chosen bijection. The source proposes it for pp-solvable groups and investigates it computationally; no resolution is supplied.
