Characters of nonabelian group of order 57

Question

I have the following problem:

Let G be the nonabelian group of order 57.

(a.) How many 1-dimensional characters does G have?

(b.) What are the dimensions (aka degrees) of the other irreducible characters of G?

For part (a) I have already found that $G$ has 3 irreducible representations of degree 1 by analyzing the Sylow subgroups of $G$, realizing that the 19-Sylow is normal and the 3-Sylow's are not. Hence $G$ has three 1-dimensional characters.

However for part (b) I am not so sure what to do. I know two things that might be useful:

1. The number of irreducible representations of $G$ must equal the number of conjugacy classes of $G$.
2. The sum of the squares of the degrees of the irreducible representations of $G$ must equal the order of $G$.

So in particular the sum of the squares of the degrees of the remaining representations must equal $57-3 =54$ and none of those may be degree one. However this alone is not enough to give the answer as there are multiple ways of expressing 54 as a sum of squares, for example $54= 36+9+9 = 25+16+9+4$.

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

A theorem of Ito asserts that if $A$ is an abelian normal subgroup of $G$, then the degree of an irreducible character divides $|G:A|$. Since the Sylow $19$-subgroup is normal, it follows that the non-linear irreducible characters all have degree $3$. Hence there are $6$ of them, since $57$ equals the sum of squares of all degrees.
If you do not want to use Ito, $\chi(1)^2 \leq |G|$ and $\chi(1)$ divides $|G|$, for all $\chi \in Irr(G)$.
