On the composition factors of a group with the same prime graph as B n ( 5 )

Azam BabaiBehrooz Khosravi — 2012

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let G be a finite group. The prime graph of G is a graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of | G | and two distinct primes p and q are joined by an edge, whenever G contains an element of order p q . The prime graph of G is denoted by Γ ( G ) . It is proved that some finite groups are uniquely determined by their prime graph. In this paper, we show that if G is a finite group such that Γ ( G ) = Γ ( B n ( 5 ) ) , where n 6 , then G has a unique nonabelian composition factor isomorphic to B n ( 5 ) or C n ( 5 ) .

Thompson’s conjecture for the alternating group of degree 2 p and 2 p + 1

Azam BabaiAli Mahmoudifar — 2017

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

For a finite group G denote by N ( G ) the set of conjugacy class sizes of G . In 1980s, J. G. Thompson posed the following conjecture: If L is a finite nonabelian simple group, G is a finite group with trivial center and N ( G ) = N ( L ) , then G L . We prove this conjecture for an infinite class of simple groups. Let p be an odd prime. We show that every finite group G with the property Z ( G ) = 1 and N ( G ) = N ( A i ) is necessarily isomorphic to A i , where i { 2 p , 2 p + 1 } .

A new characterization of symmetric group by NSE

Azam BabaiZeinab Akhlaghi — 2017

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let G be a group and ω ( G ) be the set of element orders of G . Let k ω ( G ) and m k ( G ) be the number of elements of order k in G . Let nse ( G ) = { m k ( G ) : k ω ( G ) } . Assume r is a prime number and let G be a group such that nse ( G ) = nse ( S r ) , where S r is the symmetric group of degree r . In this paper we prove that G S r , if r divides the order of G and r 2 does not divide it. To get the conclusion we make use of some well-known results on the prime graphs of finite simple groups and their components.

Recognition of some families of finite simple groups by order and set of orders of vanishing elements

Maryam KhatamiAzam Babai — 2018

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let G be a finite group. An element g G is called a vanishing element if there exists an irreducible complex character χ of G such that χ ( g ) = 0 . Denote by Vo ( G ) the set of orders of vanishing elements of G . Ghasemabadi, Iranmanesh, Mavadatpour (2015), in their paper presented the following conjecture: Let G be a finite group and M a finite nonabelian simple group such that Vo ( G ) = Vo ( M ) and | G | = | M | . Then G M . We answer in affirmative this conjecture for M = S z ( q ) , where q = 2 2 n + 1 and either q - 1 , q - 2 q + 1 or q + 2 q + 1 is a prime number, and M = F 4 ( q ) , where q = 2 n and either...
