Sum of the squares of the $p'$-character degrees

Nguyen N. Hung, J. Miquel Martínez and Gabriel Navarro

Vol. 342 (2026), No. 2, 351–380
Abstract

We study the sum of the squares of the irreducible character degrees not divisible by some prime p of a finite group, and its relationship with the corresponding quantity in a p-Sylow normalizer. This led us to study a recent conjecture by E. Giannelli, which we prove for p = 2 and in some other cases.
