Four-character Fitting-index conjecture

Let GG be a finite group, and let F(G)\mathbf F(G) denote its Fitting subgroup. Write Irr(G)\operatorname{Irr}(G) for the set of irreducible characters of GG. Four-character Fitting-index conjecture. There exist χ1,χ2,χ3,χ4Irr(G)\chi_1,\chi_2,\chi_3,\chi_4\in\operatorname{Irr}(G) such that

G:F(G)χ1(1)χ2(1)χ3(1)χ4(1).|G:\mathbf F(G)|\mid\chi_1(1)\chi_2(1)\chi_3(1)\chi_4(1).

If GG is solvable, two characters suffice. This is proposed as a strong form of the generalization of Gluck's conjecture; its status is not specified in the source.
