Navarro–Tiep's character-value conjecture for finite quasi-simple groups

About 4 years old · traced to

Let pp be an odd prime, let GG be a finite group, and let ρ∈Irr⁡p′(G)\rho\in\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(G) have conductor pamp^a m, where a∈Z≥0a\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0} and m∈Z≥1m\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1} is not divisible by pp. Say that GG and ρ\rho have Property 1.3 for pp if there is a pp-element g∈Gg\in G such that pp does not divide [Qpa:Q(ρ(g))][\mathbb{Q}_{p^a}:\mathbb{Q}(\rho(g))]. Say that GG has Property 1.3 if this holds for every odd prime pp and every ρ∈Irr⁡p′(G)\rho\in\operatorname{Irr}_{p'}(G). Navarro–Tiep's conjecture. Every finite quasi-simple group has Property 1.3. This conjecture concerns the values of irreducible complex characters of finite quasi-simple groups and would complete the characterization of the corresponding character fields for odd primes. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
