Willems' lower bound for Brauer character degrees
Problem. Let \(G\) be a finite group and \(p\) a prime. Let \(\operatorname{IBr}_p(G)\) be the set of irreducible \(p\)-Brauer characters of \(G\), and let \(|G|_{p'}\) be the largest divisor of \(|G|\) coprime to \(p\). Is \(\sum_{\varphi \in \operatorname{IBr}_p(G)} \varphi(1)^2 \ge |G|_{p'}\) always true?
