The probability that a character value is zero for the symmetric group

Alexander R. Miller

Published 2013-06-05Version 1

We consider random character values X(g) of the symmetric group on n symbols, where X is chosen at random from the set of irreducible characters and g is chosen at random from the group, and we show that X(g)=0 with probability tending to one as n tends to infinity.
