Abstract:

Suppose a finite group G has an abelian Sylow p-group P which is a T.I. set and whose normalizer is a Frobenius group with kernel P. It is shown that the degree of an exceptional character of G is not divisible by p. That is, exceptional characters have height 0 in the principal p-block of G.
