The integral restriction conjecture for characters of finite groups

Let GG be a finite group, let pp be a prime, let PP be a Sylow pp-subgroup of GG, and let χIrr(G)\chi\in\operatorname{Irr}(G). For a subgroup QPQ\le P, write χ(1)p\chi(1)_p for the pp-part of χ(1)\chi(1). Integral restriction conjecture. The restriction χP\chi_P is an integral linear combination of characters induced from subgroups QPQ\le P such that

χ(1)p=P:Q.\chi(1)_p=|P:Q|.

The theorem preceding this conjecture proves the analogous assertion for finite pp-solvable groups with a sum of induced characters. The conjecture asks whether the weaker integral-linear-combination statement holds for arbitrary finite groups; the authors note that the stronger statement is false for PSU(5,2)\operatorname{PSU}(5,2) when p=2p=2.
