In mathematics, in the area of algebra studying the character theory of finite groups, an M-group or monomial group is a finite group whose complex irreducible characters are all monomial, that is, induced from characters of degree 1.
[1] In this section only finite groups are considered.
is an example of a monomial group that is neither supersolvable nor an A-group.
is the smallest finite group that is not monomial: since the abelianization of this group has order three, its irreducible characters of degree two are not monomial.
