Malle–Navarro–Tiep conjecture on Brauer characters and normal Sylow subgroups
Let be a finite group, let be a prime, and let be a Sylow -subgroup of . Write for the set of -Brauer characters of . Malle–Navarro–Tiep conjecture. The subgroup is normal in if and only if
This conjecture characterises normality of a Sylow subgroup through the number of Brauer characters. The paper reduces it to a question about finite simple groups and proves it for , while the general statement remains open.
