Abstract

Let p ≥ 5 be a prime and let G be a finite group. We prove that G is p-solvable of p-length at most 2 if there are at most two distinct p-character degrees in the principal p-block of G. This generalizes a theorem of Isaacs-Smith as well as a recent result of three of the present authors.
