The degree pattern of a finite group G associated with its prime graph has been introduced in [1] and denoted by D(G). The group G is called k-fold OD-characterizable if there exist exactly k non-isomorphic groups H satisfying conditions |G|=|H| and D(G)=D(H).Moreover, a 1-fold OD-characterizable group is simply called an OD-characterizable group. In this paper, we will show that the symmetric group S49 can be characterized by its order and degree pattern. In fact, the symmetric group S49 is 3-fold OD-characterizable

Let [Formula: see text] be the prime graph associated with a finite group [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be the degree pattern of [Formula: see text]. A finite group [Formula: see text] is said to be [Formula: see text]-fold [Formula: see text]-characterizable if there exist exactly [Formula: see text] nonisomorphic groups [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, it shows that the symmetric group [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-fold [Formula: see text]-charaterizable. Second, it shows that there exist many infinite families of alternating and symmetric groups, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which are [Formula: see text]-fold [Formula: see text]-characterizable with [Formula: see text].

The degree pattern of a finite group G denoted by D(G) was introduced in [5]. We say that G is k-fold OD-characterizable if there exist exactly k non-isomorphic finite groups having the same order and same degree pattern as G. In the present article, we show that the alternating group A10 and the automorphism group Aut (McL) are 2-fold OD-characterizable, while the automorphism group Aut (J2) is 3-fold OD-characterizable and the symmetric group S10 is 8-fold OD-characterizable. It is worth mentioning that the prime graphs associated to these groups are connected and, in fact, among the groups with this property, they are the first groups which are investigated for OD-characterizability.

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).

The degree pattern of a finite group G was introduced in [15] and denoted by D (G). A finite group M is said to be OD-characterizable if G ≅ M for every finite group G such that |G|=|M| and D (G)= D (M). In this article, we show that the linear groups Lp(2) and Lp+1(2) are OD-characterizable, where 2p-1 is a Mersenne prime. For example, the linear groups L2(2) ≅ S3, L3(2) ≅ L2(7), L4(2) ≅ A8, L5(2), L6(2), L7(2), L8(2), L13(2), L14(2), L17(2), L18(2), L19(2), L20(2), L31(2), L32(2), L61(2), L62(2), L89(2), L90(2), etc., are OD-characterizable. We also show that the simple groups L4(5), L4(7) and U4(7) are OD-characterizable.

Let M ≠ A10be a simple K4-group. In this paper, we prove that if G is a finite group with the same order and degree pattern as M, then G ≅ M. Equivalently, all simple K4-groups except A10are OD-characterizable. Moreover, we put forward an example to show that A10and J2× Z3have the same order and degree pattern, but they are not isomorphic.

For a finite group G and an arbitrary prime p, letSP(G)denote the intersection of all maximal subgroups M of G such that [G:M] is both composite and not divisible by p; if no such M exists we setSP(G)= G. Some properties of G are considered involvingSP(G). In particular, we obtain a characterization of G when each M in the definition ofSP(G)is nilpotent.

Let G be a finite group. The prime graph Γ(G) of G is defined 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 if there is an element in G of order pq. It is proved that if p > 11 and p ≢ 1 (mod 12), then PSL(2,p) is uniquely determined by its prime graph. Also it is proved that if p > 7 is a prime number and Γ(G) = Γ(PSL(2,p2)), then G ≅ PSL(2,p2) or G ≅ PSL(2,p2).2, the non-split extension of PSL(2,p2) by ℤ2. In this paper as the main result we determine finite groups G such that Γ(G) = Γ(PSL(2,q)), where q = pk. As a consequence of our results we prove that if q = pk, k > 1 is odd and p is an odd prime number, then PSL(2,q) is uniquely determined by its prime graph and so these groups are characterizable by their prime graph.

Let G be a finite group. The prime graph Γ(G) of G is defined as follows. The vertices of Γ(G) are the primes dividing the order of G and two distinct vertices p, p′ are joined by an edge if there is an element in G of order pp′. In [G. Y. Chen et al., Recognition of the finite almost simple groups PGL2(q) by their spectrum, Journal of Group Theory, 10 (2007) 71–85], it is proved that PGL(2, pk), where p is an odd prime and k > 1 is an integer, is recognizable by its spectrum. It is proved that if p > 19 is a prime number which is not a Mersenne or Fermat prime and Γ(G) = Γ(PGL(2, p)), then G has a unique nonabelian composition factor which is isomorphic to PSL(2, p). In this paper as the main result, we show that if p is an odd prime and k > 1 is an odd integer, then PGL(2, pk) is uniquely determined by its prime graph and so these groups are characterizable by their prime graphs.
