Proving interesting theorems about S_n using its character table.
You need to be able to compute the Frobenius-Schur indicators of the characters, so you need to know how the conjugacy classes multiply. …

Is a finite group given by its character table if its Sylow subgroups are so?
The answer to the first question is negative. The group ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_3)$ has a $2$-Sylow subgroup isomorphic to $Q_8$, which is not determined by its character table, but ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb …

Finite groups with integral character table
It follows from two facts: firstly, characters "separate" conjugacy classes, i.e. if two elements are not conjugate, then there exists an irreducible character that takes different values on them; and …
