Isaacs–Navarro's conjecture on p-rationality levels

About 16 years old · traced to

Let pp be a prime, let GG be a finite group, let P∈Syl⁡p(G)P\in\operatorname{Syl}_p(G), and let α∈Z+\alpha\in\mathbb{Z}^{+}. The pp-rationality level of an irreducible character is determined by the pp-part of its conductor. Isaacs–Navarro's conjecture. One has

exp⁡(P/P′)≤pα\exp(P/P')\leq p^\alpha

if and only if every irreducible p′p'-degree character of GG has pp-rationality level at most α\alpha.

The source says this is confirmed for p=2p=2; the if direction is confirmed for all pp, while the only-if direction has been reduced to almost quasisimple groups. Thus the full conjecture remains open in general.
