For the success of this method, it is of decisive importance to know as much as possible about the connections between the properties of the character table of G and properties of G of a more combinatorial nature. Even for its own sake, an investigation in this direction offers many challenging~ roblemso Our approach centers around a study of the blocks of characters. It forms a continuation of earlier work [3, 4], and it will be extended in a later paper. We choose a prime p and partition the set of elements of G into disjoint subsets, the p-sections of G, and we partition the set of irreducible characters of G into disjoint subsets, the p-blocks of G. We shall then study the values of the characters in a fixed p-block for the elements in a fixed p-section. Each element x of G can be written uniquely as the product x= xr of aP p-element xp and a p-re@ ular element r of the centralizer C (~] of~(that is of an element r (C (~] of an order not divisible by p]. A p-section S then consists of the elements x of G whose p-factor x is conjugate to a
