In mathematics, specifically in the field of group theory, the McKay conjecture is a conjecture of equality between the number of irreducible complex characters of degree not divisible by a prime number to that of the normalizer of a Sylow -subgroup. It is named after Canadian mathematician John McKay.

Statement

Suppose is a prime number, is a finite group, and is a Sylow -subgroup. Define

where denotes the set of complex irreducible characters of the group . The McKay conjecture claims the equality

where is the normalizer of in .
