We find a bound that depends on the prime $p$. If we further restrict our average by fixing a subfield $k$ of the complex numbers and then compute the average of the degrees of the irreducible characters whose degrees are not divisible by $p$ and have values in $k$, then we will see that we obtain a bound that depends on both $p$ and $k$. Moreover, we find examples that make those bounds best possible.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-23T19:54:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20C15" ], "keywords": [ "irreducible character degrees", "finite group", "odd order", "complex numbers", "bounds best" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
