Abstract

We prove that knowledge of the character degrees of a finite group G and of their multiplicities determines whether G has a Sylow p-subgroup as a direct factor. An analogous result based on knowledge of the conjugacy class sizes is known. We prove variations of both results and discuss their similarities
