In this paper, we focus on Brauer's height zero conjecture, Robinson's conjecture, and Olsson's conjecture regarding the direct product of finite groups and give relative versions of these conjectures by restricting them to the algebraic concept of the anchor group of an irreducible character. Consider G to be a finite simple group. We prove that the anchor group of the irreducible character of G with degree p is the trivial group, where p is an odd prime. Additionally, we introduce the relative version of the Green correspondence theorem with respect to this group. We then apply the relative versions of these conjectures to suitable examples of simple groups. Classical and standard theories on the direct product of finite groups, block theory, and character theory are used to achieve these results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider G to be a finite group and p as a prime number. We fix ψ to be an irreducible character of G with its restriction to all p-regular elements of G and ψ 0 to be an irreducible Brauer character. The main aim of this paper is to describe and investigate the relationship between cyclic anchor group of ψ and the defect group of a p-block which contains ψ. Our methods are to study and generalize some facts for the cyclic defect groups of a p-block B to the case of a cyclic anchor group of irreducible characters which belong to B. We establish and prove a criteria for an irreducible character to have a cyclic anchor group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
