Abstract

Let G be a finite group and N◃G a normal subgroup with G/N abelian. We show how the conjugacy classes of G in a given coset qN relate to the irreducible characters of G that are not identically 0 on qN. We describe several consequences. In particular, we deduce that when G/N is cyclic generated by q, the number of irreducible characters of N that extend to G is the number of conjugacy classes of G in qN.
