Let Formula: see text be a finite group and Formula: see text be a prime. Denote by Formula: see text the set of irreducible Formula: see textBrauer characters of Formula: see text. Let Formula: see text be a normal subgroup of Formula: see text. Formula: see text is said to be a relative Formula: see text-group with respect to Formula: see text if for every Brauer character Formula: see text, there exists a subgroup Formula: see text of Formula: see text containing Formula: see text and Formula: see text such that Formula: see text and Formula: see text. We obtain some results about relative Formula: see text-groups in this note.
