Abstract

Let m > 1 be a fixed positive integer. In this paper, we consider finite groups each of whose nonlinear character degrees has exactly m prime divisors. We show that such groups are solvable whenever m > 2. Moreover, we prove that if G is a non-solvable group with this property, then m = 2 and G is an extension of A7 or S7 by a solvable group.
