Unfaithful minimal Heilbronn characters of \(L_2(q)\). (English) Zbl 1263.20004
Summary: When a minimal Heilbronn character \(\theta\) is unfaithful on a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup \(P\) of a finite group \(G\), we know that \(G\) is quasi-simple, \(p\) is odd, \(P\) is cyclic, \(N_G(P)\) is maximal and either \(N_G(P)\) is the unique maximal subgroup containing \(\Omega_1(P)\) or \(G/Z(G)\cong L_2(q)\) for \(q\) an odd prime with \(p\) dividing \(q-1\). In this paper we examine the exceptional case, where \(G/Z(G)\cong L_2(q)\), explicitly constructing unfaithful minimal Heilbronn characters from the non-principal irreducible characters of \(G\).
