On Quasi Steinberg characters of Complex Reflection Groups

Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ be a prime number dividing the order of $G$. An irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$ is called a quasi $p$-Steinberg character if $\chi(g)$ is nonzero for every $p$-regular element $g$ in $G$. In this paper, we classify quasi $p$-Steinberg characters of the complex reflection groups $G(r,q,n)$. In particular, we obtain this classification for Weyl groups of type $B_n$ and type $D_n$.
