Sign conjugacy classes of the symmetric groups

Abstract

A conjugacy class C of a finite group G is a sign conjugacy class if every irreducible character of G takes value 0, 1 or -1 on C. In this paper we classify the sign conjugacy classes of the symmetric groups and thereby verify a conjecture of Olsson.
