Navarro's principal-block characterization of the continuity gap
Let be a finite group, let be a prime, and let . Define
and let . Call a character almost -rational when it has degree coprime to and -rationality level at most . Navarro's principal-block characterization. The following are equivalent: (i) every almost -rational character in is -rational; (ii) for every ,
and acts trivially on the set of conjugacy classes of . This is the principal-block analogue of the continuity-gap characterization. The paper states it as a conjecture and leaves the general assertion open.
