Abstract

K. Harada conjectured for any finite group $G$, the product of sizes of all conjugacy classes is divisible by the product of degrees of all irreducible characters. We study this conjecture when $G$ is the general linear group over a finite field. We show the conjecture holds if the order of the field is sufficiently large.
