Orbits and stabilizers for solvable linear groups

We extend a result of Noritzsch, which describes the orbit sizes in the action of a Frobenius group G on a finite vector space V under certain conditions, to a more general class of finite solvable groups G. This result has applications in computing irreducible character degrees of finite groups. Another application, proved here, is a result concerning the structure of certain groups with few complex irreducible character degrees.
