Nonsolvable Groups with Three Nonlinear Irreducible Character Codegrees

Abstract

For an irreducible character χ of a finite group G, the codegree of χ is defined as ∣G: ker(χ)∣/χ(1). In this paper, the authors determine finite nonsolvable groups with exactly three nonlinear irreducible character codegrees, which are L₂(2 ^f) for f ≥ 2, PGL₂(q) for odd q ≥ 5 or M₁₀.
