Characters and generation of Sylow 2-subgroups

Abstract: We show that the character table of a finite group G determines whether a Sylow 2-subgroup of G is generated by 2 elements, in terms of the Galois action on characters. Our proof of this result requires the use of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups and provides new evidence for the so-far elusive Alperin-McKay-Navarro conjecture.

“…In the first part of the present paper we consider groups G with |P : Φ(P )| = p 2 , i. e. P is generated by two elements, but not by one. For p = 2 this property is detectable by X(G) as was shown by Navarro et al [23]. We obtain the corresponding result for odd primes p provided that G is p-constrained in Corollary 5.…”

“…The proof of one direction of the Brauer Height Zero Conjecture in [KM13] and the recent proof for principal blocks [MN21] have been major breakthroughs in this line of investigation. Other recent results studying the p-structural properties of the defect group in terms of properties of the irreducible characters in the block can be found in [FLLMZ19], [GRSS20] and [NRSV21]. The present paper is a contribution to this lively area of research.…”

“…Notice that a character χ ∈ Irr(G) is 2-rational if, and only if, χ is G-fixed. The set of 2-height zero characters fixed under the action of σ 1 has been recently studied in connection with the number of generators of 2-defect groups (see [RSV,NRSV,Val1]).…”
