Abstract

For a group G and a character χ of G, let c(χ) denote the set of all irreducible characters of G, occurring in χ. The character covering number of G is defined as the least n such that c(χn) = Irr(G), for all faithful irreducible χ. In this article, we compute the character covering number of PSL2(q) for all q ≥ 8.
