Let p ≥ 5 be a prime and n ∈ {p, p + 1, p + 2}. Let G be a finite group and πe(G) be the set of element orders of G. Assume that k ∈ πe(G) and mk(G) is the number of elements of order k in G. Set nse (G) = {mk(G) : k ∈ πe(G)}. In this paper, we show that if nse (An) = nse (G), p ∈ π(G) and p2 ∤ |G|, then G ≅ An. As a consequence of our result, we show that if nse (An) = nse (G) and |G| = |An|, then G ≅ An.

AbstractIt is known that the centralizer of a matrix over a finite field depends, up to conjugacy, only on the type of the matrix, in the sense defined by J. A. Green. In this paper an analogue of the type invariant is defined that in general captures more information; using this invariant the result on centralizers is extended to arbitrary fields. The converse is also proved: thus two matrices have conjugate centralizers if and only if they have the same generalized type. The paper ends with the analogous results for symmetric and alternating groups.
