Restriction of p'-degree characters, fields of values, and relative normal complements
Abstract
Let G be a finite p-solvable group for a prime p, and let P be a Sylow p-subgroup of G. Centella and Navarro proved that there is a canonical bijection Irrp'(Φ1G)→Irrp'(Φ1NG(P)) preserving fields of values, where Φ1G denotes the principal projective indecomposable character of G. In the spirit of a result of Berkovich on the McKay bijection, we characterize when this projective correspondence can be realized by restriction, proving that it holds if and only if NG(P) admits a certain relative normal complement in G. More generally, we establish a refined criterion incorporating fields of values, and we extend this characterization to π-separable groups with nilpotent Hall π-subgroups.
