Abstract:  Let $G$ be a finite group with exactly two nonlinear non-faithful irreducible characters. We discuss the properties of $G$ and classify finite $p$-groups with exactly two nonlinear non-faithful irreducible characters.
Keywords:  $p$-group; nonlinear irreducible character; non-faithful character
Classification MSC:  20C15
