Abstract

Given a character triple ( G , N , ΞΈ ) , which means that 𝐺 is a finite group with N ⁒ ⊲ ⁒ G and ΞΈ ∈ Irr ⁑ ( N ) is 𝐺-invariant, we introduce the notion of a πœ‹-quasi-extension of πœƒ to 𝐺, where πœ‹ is the set of primes dividing the order of the cohomology element [ ΞΈ ] G / N ∈ H 2 ⁒ ( G / N , C Γ— ) associated with the character triple, and then we establish the uniqueness of such an extension in the normalized case. As an application, we use the πœ‹-quasi-extension of πœƒ to construct a bijection from the set of πœ‹-defect zero characters of G / N onto the set of relative πœ‹-defect zero characters of 𝐺 over πœƒ. Our results generalize the related theorems of M. Murai and of G. Navarro.
