Gallagher's Theorem for Real-valued Brauer Characters
Abstract
Let G be a finite group, let N be a normal subgroup of G, and let θ be an irreducible p-Brauer character of N, for a prime p. It is well known that the number of irreducible Brauer characters of G lying over θ equals the number of p-regular θ-good conjugacy classes of Gθ/N. In this note we express the number of real-valued irreducible Brauer characters of G lying over θ in terms of the p-regular θ-good conjugacy classes of Gθ/N. This is a modular analogue of one of the main results in a recent paper (arXiv:2301.01177) by John Murray.
