Nonvanishing elements for Brauer characters. (English) Zbl 1377.20007

Let \(p\) be a prime such that \(p>3\), let \(G\) be a finite solvable group with \(O_p(G)=1\), and let \(g\) be a \(p\)-regular element in \(G\) such that \(\varphi(g) \neq 0\) for every irreducible \(p\)-Brauer character \(\varphi\) of \(G\). The authors prove that \(g\in O_{p'pp'}(G)\), unless \(p\in \{5,7\}\), and the order of \(g\) is divisible by 2 or 3.
