Sep 5, 2014 at 7:58 comment added Geoff Robinson (Corrected): Isaacs and Moreto have a paper about the average degree of an irreducible character. Also, while there are reasonable upper bounds for the sum, I am not sure that there are good lower bounds, part from (as you implicitly mention) groups whose characters are all realizable over $\mathbb{R}$.
Sep 4, 2014 at 21:21 comment added Alex B. Note: "all irreducible characters real valued" $\neq$ "all irreducible representations defined over $\mathbb{R}$". A symplectic character does not contribute to the involution count.

Sep 4, 2014 at 14:09 comment added Sven Wirsing @Jim: I have substitue the tag as you proposed and tried to structure my question. If you want you can change it like you described (since I am new here and not so familiar with all rules).
Sep 4, 2014 at 14:08 comment added Sven Wirsing @Geoff: Thanks for your hint for the upper and lower bounds. I will study this article.

Sep 4, 2014 at 13:21 comment added Jim Humphreys Side comments: It would help to document the first paragraph (and also to correct an obvious typo there), as well as the last paragraph. Maybe substitute a tag 'finite-groups' for 'abstract-algebra'? It's also desirable to isolate your main question, in the format: > text
Sep 4, 2014 at 8:19 comment added Geoff Robinson Well, there is the lower bound that the sum of the degrees is at least 1 +#(involutions of G), but that is not always helpful.
