Let G be a finite group and p a prime number. About five years ago I. M. Isaacs and S. D. Smith [5] gave several character-theoretic characterizations of finite p-solvable groups with p-length 1. Indeed, they proved that if P is a Sylow p-subgroup of G then the next four conditions (l)–(4) are equivalent:

(1) G is p-solvable of p-length 1.

(2) Every irreducible complex representation in the principal p-block of G restricts irreducibly to NG(P).

(3) Every irreducible complex representation of degree prime to p in the principal p-block of G restricts irreducibly to NG(P).

(4) Every irreducible modular representation in the principal p-block of G restricts irreducibly to NG(P).
