Let $G$ be a finite group and $nse (G)$ the set of numbers of elements with the same order in $G$ . In this paper, we prove that a finite group $G$ is isomorphic to $M$ , where $M$ is one of the Mathieu groups, if and only if the following hold: (1) $| G | = | M |$ , (2) $nse (G) = nse (M)$ .

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $N (G)$ denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ . Thompson’s conjecture states that if $G$ is a centerless group and $S$ is a non-abelian simple group satisfying $N (G) = N (S)$ , then $G ≅ S$ . In this paper, we investigate a variation of this conjecture for some symmetric groups under a weaker assumption. In particular, it is shown that $G ≅ Sym (p + 1)$ if and only if $| G | = (p + 1)!$ and $G$ has a special conjugacy class of size $(p + 1)! / p$ , where $p > 5$ is a prime number. Consequently, if $G$ is a centerless group with $N (G) = N (Sym (p + 1))$ , then $G ≅ Sym (p + 1)$ .

Characterization of the alternating groups by their order and one conjugacy class length

Alireza Khalili Asboei, Reza Mohammadyari (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $N (G)$ be the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ . By Thompson’s conjecture, if $L$ is a finite non-abelian simple group, $G$ is a finite group with a trivial center, and $N (G) = N (L)$ , then $L$ and $G$ are isomorphic. Recently, Chen et al. contributed interestingly to Thompson’s conjecture under a weak condition. They only used the group order and one or two special conjugacy class sizes of simple groups and characterized successfully sporadic simple groups (see Li’s PhD dissertation). In...
