Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the classification of finite solvable groups having primitive characters of degree two. We first determine all finite solvable groups having both a faithful primitive character of degree two and a faithful real-valued irreducible character. Then we classify all finite solvable groups having at most five nonlinear monolithic characters one of which is primitive of degree two.
