%0 Journal Article %T A note on the Navarro conjecture for alternating groups with abelian defect %A Rishi Nath %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X In [7], G. Navarro proposed a refinement of the McKay conjecture involving a special class of Galois automorphisms. In [6] this new conjecture was verified by the author for the alternating groups A(n) when p=2. In this note the Navarro conjecture is verified for the p-singular characters of the principal block of the alternating groups in the case of abelian defect when p is odd. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0906.1820v3
