Harada–Chigira's conjecture on the divisibility of Harada's number

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let GG be a finite group, let G′G' denote its commutator subgroup, and let h(G)h(G) be the Harada number

h(G):=∏i=1s∣Ki∣∏i=1sχi(1),h(G):=\frac{\prod_{i=1}^{s}|K_i|}{\prod_{i=1}^{s}\chi_i(1)},

where K1,…,KsK_1,\ldots,K_s are the conjugacy classes of GG and χ1,…,χs\chi_1,\ldots,\chi_s are its irreducible complex characters. Harada–Chigira's conjecture. For every finite group GG,

h(G)∣G′∣∈Z.\frac{h(G)}{|G'|}\in\mathbb{Z}.

This is stated as a stronger conjecture than Harada's conjecture II, imposing divisibility by the order of the commutator subgroup. The source does not report a resolution.
