DESCRIPTION:Title: Zeros of characters of symmetric groups\n\nAbstract: I
 nterest in zeros of characters stretches back to Burnside's classical re
 sult that every non-linear character has a zero\, and persists to this d
 ay in open problems such as Moretó–Rizo's proposed generalisation of the
  McKay conjecture. Zeros of characters of the symmetric group are connec
 ted to the hook structure of partitions via the Murnaghan–Nakayama rule.
  I will present joint work with Giannelli and Law in which we prove that
  the zero values on just the Sylow subgroups suffices to determine the d
 egree of an irreducible character of the symmetric group (and a best pos
 sible analogue for the alternating group).
