摘要
Let G be a finite group. A vanishing element of G is an element g is an element of G such that chi (g)=0 for some irreducible complex character chi of G. Denote by Vo(G) the set of the orders of vanishing elements of G. A finite group all of whose elements have prime power order is called a CP-group. Generally, a finite group G is called a VCP-group if every element in Vo(G) is a prime power. Here, we classify completely the non-solvable VCP-groups and show that, except for A7, the non-solvable VCP-groups coincide with the non-solvable CP-groups. Moreover, as a consequence, we give a new characterization of the simple VCP-groups, namely, if G is a finite group and M is a finite non-abelian simple VCP-group except for L2(9) such that Vo(G)=Vo(M), then GM. In addition, we also prove that if Vo(G)=Vo(L2(9)), then either GL2(9), or GNA, where ASL2(4) and N is an elementary abelian 2-group and a direct sum of natural SL2(4)-modules.
