Qian proposed a conjecture which states that if an element of a finite group G has order a, then there exists an irreducible character of codegree b of G such that a divides b. He showed that the conjecture holds for solvable groups. In this note, we settle the conjecture for almost simple groups.en© 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
