Conjecture on homogeneous products of faithful irreducible characters

About 22 years old · traced to

Let GG be a solvable group, and let ψ,φ∈Irr⁡(G)\psi,\varphi\in\operatorname{Irr}(G) be faithful, where Irr⁡(G)\operatorname{Irr}(G) denotes the irreducible characters of GG. Suppose that

ψφ=mχ,\psi\varphi=m\chi,

where mm is a positive integer and χ∈Irr⁡(G)\chi\in\operatorname{Irr}(G). Homogeneous-product conjecture. Then ψ\psi and φ\varphi are fully ramified with respect to Z(G)\mathbf{Z}(G), the center of GG. This conjecture generalizes Isaacs's conjecture about irreducible products of faithful characters; the source gives no resolution status.
