Abstract:
      Let $G$ be a finite group and $K$ a field of characteristic zero. It is well-known that if $K$ is a splitting field for $G$, then $G$ is abelian if and only if any irreducible representation of $G$ has degree 1. In this paper, we generalize this result to the case that $K$ is an arbitrary field of characteristic zero (that is, $K$ need not be a splitting field for $G$), and we also obtain the orthogonality relations of irreducible $K$-characters of $G$ in this case. Our results generalize some well-known theorems.
