"Character Tables of Metacyclic Groups" by Dane Christian Skabelund

Abstract

We show that any two split metacyclic groups with the same character tables are isomorphic. We then use this to show that among metacyclic groups that are either 2-groups or are of odd order divisible by at most two primes, that the dihedral and generalized quaternion groups of order 2^n, n = 3, are the only pairs that have the same character tables.
