Abstract:
Let
$G$
be a finite group.
A character
$\chi$
of
$G$
is said to be
real-imaginary if its values are real or purely imaginary.
A conjugacy class
$C$
of
$a$
in
$G$
is real-imaginary if and only if
$\chi(a)$
is real or purely imaginary for all irreducible characters
$\chi$
of
$G$.
A finite group
$G$
is called real-imaginary if all of its irreducible characters
are real-imaginary.
In this paper, we describe real-imaginary conjugacy classes
and irreducible characters and study some results related to the
real-imaginary groups.
Moreover, we investigate some connections between
the structure of group
$G$
and both the set of all
the real-imaginary irreducible characters of
$G$
and the set of
all the real-imaginary conjugacy classes of
$G$.
Keywords:conjugacy classes, irreducible characters, real group.
