Abstract

If G is a finite group, p is a prime, and P is a Sylow p-subgroup of G, we study how the exponent of the abelian group P/P is affected and how it affects the values of the complex characters of G. This is related to Brauer’s Problem 12. Exactly how this is done is one of the last unsolved consequences of the McKay–Galois conjecture.
