On the inductive Giannelli-McKay condition for sporadic groups
Abstract
We present a computational framework to verify a refinement of the McKay conjecture, proposed by E. Giannelli, for sporadic simple groups and their universal covers. This refinement asserts the existence of a bijection between the p'-characters of a finite group and those of the normalizer of its Sylow p-subgroup that does not increase character degrees. Our verification enforces stricter conditions, ensuring equivariance under the relevant outer automorphism group, preservation of the p-part of the character conductor, and compatibility with central characters. We establish theoretical reductions that limit the relevant outer automorphism action to an order of at most 2, allowing us to leverage Clifford theory and precomputed character tables to circumvent expensive explicit group constructions. Finally, we provide algorithms for classifying characters and constructing bijections that strictly satisfy these conditions.
