A note on Brauer's induction theorem in a soluble group

摘要

By Brauer's induction theorem, for any finite group G, each irreducible complex character of G is a sum of characters induced from linear characters of elementary subgroups of G. The purpose of this note is to show that for soluble G, such a sum always exists in which the subgroups have their indices in G divisible by the degree of the character.
