Abstract
Let \(\chi \) be an irreducible character of a group G, and \(S_c(G)=\sum _{\chi \in \textrm{Irr}(G)}\textrm{cod}(\chi )\) be the sum of the codegrees of the irreducible characters of G. Write \(\textrm{fcod} (G)=\frac{S_c(G)}{|G|}.\) We aim to explore the structure of finite groups in terms of \(\textrm{fcod} (G).\) On the other hand, we determine the lower bound of \(S_c(G)\) for nonsolvable groups and prove that if G is nonsolvable, then \(S_c(G)\geqslant S_c(A_5)=68,\) with equality if and only if \(G\cong A_5.\) Additionally, we show that there is a solvable group so that it has the codegree sum as \(A_5.\)
期刊介绍:
Algebras and Representation Theory features carefully refereed papers relating, in its broadest sense, to the structure and representation theory of algebras, including Lie algebras and superalgebras, rings of differential operators, group rings and algebras, C*-algebras and Hopf algebras, with particular emphasis on quantum groups.
The journal contains high level, significant and original research papers, as well as expository survey papers written by specialists who present the state-of-the-art of well-defined subjects or subdomains. Occasionally, special issues on specific subjects are published as well, the latter allowing specialists and non-specialists to quickly get acquainted with new developments and topics within the field of rings, algebras and their applications.
