Abstract

For n∈ N, we denote by π(n) the set of prime divisors of n. For a block B of a finite group G, let Irr(B) be the set of irreducible complex characters of G belonging to B. Let ρ(B) be the set of those primes dividing the degree of some character in Irr(B), and let σ(B) be the maximal number of primes dividing such a degree. For a solvable group G, we prove that | ρ(B) | ≤ 3 σ(B) + 1. This provides a block result in the spirit of Huppert’s ρ-σ conjecture.
