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 if ∣G∣ = ∣S∣ and nse (G) = nse (S), where S is a sporadic simple group, then the finite group G is isomorphic to S.

Let $G$ be a finite group with two primitive permutation representations on the sets $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$ and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ be the corresponding permutation characters. We consider the case in which the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ coincides with the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$, that is, for every $g\in G$, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}(g)=0$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}(g)=0$. We have conjectured in Spiga [‘Permutation characters and fixed-point-free elements in permutation groups’, J. Algebra299(1) (2006), 1–7] that under this hypothesis either $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ or one of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ is a genuine character. In this paper we give evidence towards the veracity of this conjecture when the socle of $G$ is a sporadic simple group or an alternating group. In particular, the conjecture is reduced to the case of almost simple groups of Lie type.

Let G be a finite group. Based on the prime graph of G, the order of G can be divided into a product of coprime positive integers. These integers are called order components of G and the set of order components is denoted by OC(G). Some non-abelian simple groups are known to be uniquely determined by their order components. In this paper we prove that almost sporadic simple groups, except Aut (J2) and Aut (McL), and the automorphism group of PSL(2, 2n) where n=2sare also uniquely determined by their order components. Also we discuss about the characterizability of Aut (PSL(2, q)). As corollaries of these results, we generalize a conjecture of J. G. Thompson and another conjecture of W. Shi and J. Bi for the groups under consideration.

If G is a finite group, we define its prime graph Γ(G) as follows. The vertices of Γ(G) are the primes dividing the order of G and two distinct vertices p, q are joined by an edge, denoted by p~q, if there is an element in G of order pq. Assume [Formula: see text] with primes p1<p2<⋯<pkand natural numbers αi. For p∈π(G), let the degree of p be deg (p)=|{q∈π(G)|q~p}|, and D(G):=( deg (p1), deg (p2),…, deg (pk)). In this paper, we prove that if G is a finite group such that D(G)=D(M) and |G|=|M|, where M is one of the following simple groups: (1) sporadic simple groups, (2) alternating groups Apwith p and p-2 primes, (3) some simple groups of Lie type, then G≅M. Moreover, we show that if G is a finite group with OC (G)={29.39.5.7, 13}, then G≅S6(3) or O7(3), and finally, we show that if G is a finite group such that |G|=29.39.5.7.13 and D(G)=(3,2,2,1,0), then G≅S6(3) or O7(3).

Let G be a non-abelian group and N(G) be the set of conjugacy class sizes of G. In 1980s, Thompson posed the following conjecture: if M is a finite non-abelian simple group, G is a finite group with Z(G) = 1 and N(G) = N(M), then M ≅ G. Here, we prove Thompson's conjecture holds for all almost sporadic simple groups.

AbstractLet $G$ denote a finite group and $\mathrm{cd} (G)$ the set of irreducible character degrees of $G$. Huppert conjectured that if $H$ is a finite nonabelian simple group such that $\mathrm{cd} (G)= \mathrm{cd} (H)$, then $G\cong H\times A$, where $A$ is an abelian group. He verified the conjecture for many of the sporadic simple groups and we complete its verification for the remainder.

Let$G$be a finite group and$\mathsf{cd}(G)$denote the set of complex irreducible character degrees of$G$. We prove that if$G$is a finite group and$H$is an almost simple group whose socle is a sporadic simple group$H_{0}$and such that$\mathsf{cd}(G)=\mathsf{cd}(H)$, then$G^{\prime }\cong H_{0}$and there exists an abelian subgroup$A$of$G$such that$G/A$is isomorphic to$H$. In view of Huppert’s conjecture, we also provide some examples to show that$G$is not necessarily a direct product of$A$and$H$, so that we cannot extend the conjecture to almost simple groups.

In this paper, we study the problem of how a finite group can be generated by some subgroups. In order to the finite simple groups, we show that any finite non-abelian simple group can be generated by two Sylow p1 - and p_2 -subgroups, where p_1&nbsp; and p_2&nbsp; are two different primes. We also show that for a given different prime numbers p&nbsp; and q , any finite group can be generated by a Sylow p -subgroup and a q -subgroup.

Let [Formula: see text] be a class of finite simple groups. We say that a finite group [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-group if all composition factors of [Formula: see text] are contained in [Formula: see text]. A group [Formula: see text] is called [Formula: see text]-supersoluble if every chief [Formula: see text]-factor of [Formula: see text] is a simple group. In this paper, properties of mutually permutable products of [Formula: see text]-supersoluble finite groups are studied. Some earlier results on mutually permutable products of [Formula: see text]-supersoluble groups (SC-groups) appear as particular cases.

In [Li and Chen, A new characterization of the simple group [Formula: see text], Sib. Math. J. 53(2) (2012) 213–247.], it is proved that the simple group [Formula: see text] is uniquely determined by the set of orders of its maximal abelian subgroups. Also in [Momen and Khosravi, Groups with the same orders of maximal abelian subgroups as [Formula: see text], Monatsh. Math. 174 (2013) 285–303], the authors proved that if [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is not a Mersenne prime, then every finite group with the same orders of maximal abelian subgroups as [Formula: see text], is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] or an extension of [Formula: see text] by a subgroup of the outer automorphism group of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a finite group with the same orders of maximal abelian subgroups as [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] has a unique nonabelian composition factor which is isomorphic to [Formula: see text].
