The relative McKay conjecture

About 8 years old · traced to

Let GG be a finite group, let L⊴GL\unlhd G, let P/L∈Syl⁡p(G/L)P/L\in\operatorname{Syl}_p(G/L), and let ν∈Irr⁡(L)\nu\in\operatorname{Irr}(L) be PP-invariant. Write Irr⁡p′(G∣ν)\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(G\mid\nu) for the irreducible characters of GG lying above ν\nu whose degrees are prime to pp. Relative McKay conjecture. One has

∣Irr⁡p′(G∣ν)∣=∣Irr⁡p′(NG(P)∣ν)∣.|\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(G\mid\nu)|=|\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(N_G(P)\mid\nu)|.

This generalizes McKay's counting assertion to a normal subgroup and a prescribed invariant character. The source presents it as a key generalization used in reduction arguments; no general proof is stated.
