For some nonnegative number e, we have n=d(d+e). If e is small, then the character of V has unusually large degree. We fix e and attempt to classify such groups. For e<=3 we give a complete classification. For any other fixed e we show that there are only finitely many examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2008-08-28T05:00:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20C15" ], "keywords": [ "finite group", "complete classification", "unusually large degree", "complex numbers", "nonnegative number" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AMS", "journal": "Proc.
