Abstract:
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\pi$ be a set of primes. Write $\operatorname {Irr}_{\pi ’}(G)$ for the set of irreducible characters of degree not divisible by any prime in $\pi$. We show that if $\pi$ contains at most two prime numbers and the only element in $\operatorname {Irr}_{\pi ’}(G)$ is the principal character, then $G=1$.References
