The link and notation for the modular maximal-cyclic group was not correct.
Mar 28, 2017 at 15:18 comment added Frieder Ladisch I think the point is that Palfy's formula depends only on the minimal normal subgroups of $G$ (together with the action of $G$ on the abelian ones), while the "easy" formula depends on all normal subgroups.
Mar 28, 2017 at 10:48 comment added Sebastien Palcoux @FriederLadisch: do you understand in what sense the (complicated) formula of Pálfy's paper is more interesting than this (easy) formula extracted above?
Mar 27, 2017 at 14:03 comment added Sebastien Palcoux @FriederLadisch: you are right, thanks!
Mar 27, 2017 at 12:47 comment added Frieder Ladisch Re "does this theorem exist in the literature?": In Pálfy's paper on p. 97, a chain of equalities is displayed, and from the 1st and the 3rd line, on can extract the equality $$ \sum_{ \substack{ \phi \in \operatorname{Irr}(G) \\ \operatorname{Ker} \phi = 1 } } ( \deg \phi )^2 = \sum_{ N \vartriangleleft G } \mu(N) | G/N|. $$

Definitive answer containing a counter-example, plus an improved question and two counter-examples for it; finally an alternative result involving the normal subgroup lattice, plus a reference request.

transfert of the counter-example to the (improved) question part.

We add a counter-example, so that it is a real answer (m=no more a long comment). We also suggest a way for improving the question.

Definition of the fixed-point subspace, and link for Claim 1.
