Finite groups with some bounded codegrees

Abstract

For a character $\chi$ of a finite group $G$, the number cod$(\chi):=|G:\mathrm{ker}(\chi)|/\chi(1)$ is called the codegree of $\chi$.In this paper, we give a solvability criterion for a finite group $G$ depending on the minimum of the ratio $\chi(1)^2 /\mathrm{cod}(\chi )$, when $\chi $ varies among the irreducible characters of $G$.
